Tabua De Esmeralda (180 gram vinyl) ... LP Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Searing samba soul from Jorge Ben – one of his best-remembered albums of the 70s, and for good reason too!

A 70s gem from Cartola – one of the key recordings done in a crucial flurry of activity in the later years of his career!

Flaviola E O Bando Do Sol (180 gram pressing) ... LP Rozenblit/Polysom (Brazil), 1974. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A gem of a record from the same Pernambuco early 70s scene that gave us Lula Cortes, Ze Ramalho, Geraldo Azevedo, and Alceu Valenca!

A wholly unique late 60s record by Orquesta Afro Brasileira – with these raw, heavy and unforgettable roosty rhythms and chorus vocals that give it something of a spiritual, folkloric vibe – yet the overall sound is still indicative of the genre-busting creativity of the many different ...

Pao Com Manteiga —
Pao Com Manteiga (180 gram pressing) ... LP Continental/Polysom (Brazil), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Pao Com Manteiga are a pretty hairy bunch of guys from mid 70s Brazil – at least according to their image on the back cover of the record – and they serve up a nicely fuzzy blend of styles that takes off from 60s psych modes, moves into 70s soft rock harmonies, yet never has any sort of ...
