A 2CD set – featuring the first 2 albums by Kraftwerk in a single package!

Philips (Brazil), 1989. Used ... $9.99
A beautifully understated album from the legendary Nara Leao – done as a tribute to the bossa generation, with key help from the great Roberto Menescal – who handles the arrangements, plays guitar behind Nara's lovely vocals! Given that Nara's groundbreaking work of the late 60s was ... (Brazil) read more CD

Philips (Japan), 1987. Used ... $9.99 11.99
A great one from Nara Leao's "back to bossa" years in the late 80s – a set that has the lovely vocalist working through older American standards – but done here with new lyrics in Portuguese and some great bossa backings from Roberto Menescal! Menescal's airy style proved to ... (Brazil) read more CD

Nara Leao —
Nara (1967) ... LP Philips (Brazil), 1967. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the loveliest of all the bossa singers is caught here in some superb arrangements by Oscar Castro-Neves! The set's got a wonderful feel – with moments that are rootsier than your average bossa diva record, and others that are baroque enough to hint at the direction Nara would take a ...

Philips/Universal (Japan), 1966. New Copy ... $13.99
An amazing early album by Nara Leao – one that features mostly spare vocals and acoustic guitar, plus some additional percussion – coming off in a style that's halfway between the best 60s work of Geraldo Vandre and early albums by Joyce! Nara's vocals are incredible – really ... (Brazil) read more CD
Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $36.99 39.99
A wild solo project from Rita Lee – done after the breakup of Os Mutantes, and offered up almost as some sort of commentary on mainstream rock in the 70s! There's a much more straightforward approach to the music here – a sometimes-glammy sound that's echoed by the band's space-style ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Nice heavy vinyl – with a bonus poster too!)
Philips (Brazil), 1972. Used ... $19.99
One of Ivan Lins' first albums – and a landmark set of MPB! The record shows a lot of strands of influence from the Milton Nascimento, Lo Borges, and Minhas Geraes camp – and it shares much of the same sense of jazzy scoring with the work of those artists. But most important is Lins' ... (Brazil) read more CD

Philips (Brazil), 1978. Very Good+ ... $19.99 33.99
A gem of a later album from the great Edu Lobo – very different than his bossa recordings, and with a sophisticated jazzy vibe that perfectly illustrates all the growth he'd achieved during the 70s! The songs are wonderful – complex and yet really personal, with a quality that rivals ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album

An incredible later meeting by two of the most sophisticated musical talents of the bossa generation – and a record that's done in the same intimate, spare setting as Jobim's meeting with Elis Regina a few years before! Production is by bossa legend Aloysio De Oliveira – and the sound ... (Brazil) read more CD
