Loki (180 gram pressing) ... LP Polygram/Polysom (Brazil), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A freaky little solo album by Arnaldo Baptista of Os Mutantes – a set that's every bit as wild as you might guess from the cover!

Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99
Searing samba soul from Jorge Ben – one of his best-remembered albums of the 70s, and for good reason too!

Cartola (1976) (O Mundo E Um Moinho) (180 gram pressing) ... LP Discos Marcus Pereira/Polysom (Brazil), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
A 70s gem from Cartola – one of the key recordings done in a crucial flurry of activity in the later years of his career!

Quem e Quem (180 gram pressing) ... LP Odeon/Polysom (Brazil), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A gem of a record – one we wouldn't part with for anything! Joao Donato's best known as one of the founding fathers of bossa nova – better known for his 60s work over the years, than he was for 70s electric work like this. Fortunately, international groove hounds picked up on the ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Joao Donato & Donatinho —
Sintetizamor ... LP Polysom (Brazil), 2017. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
One of the most unusual projects we've ever heard from the legendary Joao Donato – not the bossa jazz of his roots, but instead a fresh new groove created with his son Donatinho! The music is heavy on keyboards, and definitely has the 80s vibe promised by the cover – with the younger ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Discos Continental/Polysom (Brazil), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99
A bit of an oddball record from Walter Franco, and one we've really come to love over the years! Franco's clearly going for an experimental rock sound here – and while the hard jamming kind of works at odds against that at times, at others, the whole thing gels together nicely in a blend of ...

Na Rua, Na Chuva, Na Fazenda (180 gram presssing) ... LP Polydor/Polysom (Brazil), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Fantastic work by this underdiscovered Brazilian talent! Hyldon was part of the 70s Brazilian soul and funk generation that included Tim Maia, Cassiano, and Toni Tornado – but he'd also absorbed a lot of the singer/songwriter influences of Caetano Veloso, who's laidback mid 70s style will ...

Rita Lee —
Atras Do Porto Tem Uma Cidade (180 gram pressing) ... LP Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
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
