Acosta (180 gram pressing) ... LP 
Capitol/Mad About Records (Portugal), 1970. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A killer set from funky drummer Leo Acosta – a Mexican musician, but one who draws plenty of influence here from the New York scene – before turning the whole thing into a set of weird and wild sounds that are very much his own! Leo's clearly got some Latin soul vibe going on here ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Belair is a combo led by guitarist Michael Belair – who works here with a very cool California group, in a style that's different than some of the other work of his generation!

Sonny Bravo/
Columbia/Mad About Records (Portugal), Late 60s. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Two killer cuts from the late 60s Latin soul years at Columbia Records – both great! Sonny Bravo takes on Archie Bell's "Tighten Up", but in a way that's even harder and funkier than the original – thanks to some heavy conga at the bottom, and a very badass East Harlem sort ...

Sabura Dja Nfrontam ... LP Iefe Discos/Sabura (Portugal), 1981. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A soulful set of work from the scene in Cape Verde – done with a bubbling groove that's got strong ties to Caribbean work of the time, but done with a slightly different flavor as well – given that the lyrics are all in Portuguese! Instrumentation is lean and sharp – plenty of ... (Global Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Procura-Se Uma Virgem (180 gram pressing) ... LP CID/Mad About Records (Portugal), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock

Nentu/Mad About Records (Portugal), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 34.99
A rare 70s session from guitar genius Eddie Fisher – best known for his early classics on Chess/Cadet Records, and sounding even funkier here overall!

Last Exit ... LP Mad About Records (Portugal), 1979. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Funky club from 70s France – a great blend of disco, jazz funk, and slightly warmer soul – all served up by keyboardist Christian Gaubert with vocals but the ultra-sweet Last Exit group!

Roger A Ti Wawa ... LP Da'N Records/Mad About Records (Portugal), 1981. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
NSI stands for "new sounds from the islands" – and that's definitely what you'll get here from this combo who serve up a fantastic blend of Antilles rhythms and contemporary club funk – all very much in the best spirit of the early zouk movement at the time!

Grupo Medusa (180 gram pressing) ... LP Som Da Gente/Mad About Records (Portugal), 1980. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Funky fusion from the Brazilian scene of the 80s – music from a time when the best electric jazz was more the product of indie labels like the Som Da Gente powerhouse – a company who really let Grupo Medusa find their groove!

Mad About Records (Portugal), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99 36.99
An album that's got all sorts of wonderful jazzy goodness going on – not just all sorts of great keyboard work from the leader Dana Kaproff, but also a full ensemble feel that really helps the whole thing soar!

Atco/Mad About Records (Portugal), 1973. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $19.99 44.99
A beautiful album of laidback psych from early 70s Brazil – the sort of more personal, more introspective work that some of the artists on the scene were cutting after the more experimental modes of the Tropicalia years! Guilherme Lamounier has a gentle sort of majesty in his music – ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Webster Lewis/Mad About Records (Portugal), Late 1970s. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Two sweet instrumental funky gems – both great! "El Bobo" is a Latin-tinged number from fusion giant Webster Lewis – filled with great keyboards that soar out through the tune, ala Ramsey Lewis 70s electric – but with a much more complicated groove! On the flipside, ... (Funky 45's) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record
Brandao/Sabura (Portugal), 1982. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 39.99

Equipe/Mad About Records (Portugal), 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99 34.99
A lost classic from one of the greatest Brazilian sax players ever!

Paulo handled ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Software/Mad About Records (Portugal), 1981. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99 34.99
Soaring grooves and scatting vocals – a wonderful collaboration between this hip fusion combo and singer Rachel Gould, and one that's right up there with the best German grooves of the Glucklich generation!

Fernando Oly —
Tempo Pra Tudo ... LP Mad About Records (Portugal), Late 70s. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
We'll admit that we don't know anything at all about Fernando Oly – but he's a hell of an artist, with a richness to his music that really seems to put him in the same territory as the 70s generation of Milton Nascimento and his associates!

Leila Pinheiro —
Leila Pinheiro (180 gram pressing) ... LP Leila Pinheiro/Mad About Records (Portugal), 1982. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Leila Pinheiro's first album – first issued back in 1982, with a spare and jazzy post-bossa style that reminds us of some of Gal Costa's work from the same period!

Celebration/Mad About Records (Portugal), Late 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 36.99
A really cool record from reedman Robert Rockwell – one that features some great work from keyboardist Bobby Lyle too!

Um Grito De Guerra (180 gram pressing) ... LP Remada/Mad About Records (Portugal), 1979. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Pedrinho Sampaio is surrounded by keyboards on this late 70s gem from Brazil – and the record definitely makes it feel that way too – as Pedrinho handles a variety of different Yamaha organs and keyboards, plus some Roland strings as well!
