A seminal set from Jorge Ben – one that mixes samba soul with more baroque arrangements from the legendary Arthur Verocai!

The start of an amazing legacy in Brazilian music – and a record that really lives up to its title!

Lo Borges (1972) (180 gram pressing) ... LP EMI/Polysom (Brazil), 1972. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
An incredible album from Lo Borges – one of the best singer/songwriters on the Brazilian scene of the 70s!

Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $39.99 42.99
Erasmo Carlos sounds even cooler here than usual – still working with tunes penned with his brother Roberto – but also taking on music by Caetano Veloso, Jorge Ben, and Marcos Valle too! There's a heady undercurrent to the record that's maybe a filtering-through of an earlier ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Cassiano —
Cuban Soul – 18 Kilates (180 gram pressing) ... LP Polydor/Polysom (Brazil), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Classic work from one of Brazil's greatest soul singers of the 70s – an album of rich feeling that's a wonderful bridge between American soul music and some of the sophisticated song stylings of the MPB generation!

Six Degrees/Polysom (Brazil), 2012. New Copy ... $39.99 42.99
A nice step forward for Ceu – and a record with a bit more of an edge than we might have expected! The set's still heavy on those sweet Brazilian vocals with an old school vibe – but the production, although often spare, has this nice raspy quality we really love – subtle ...

Gal Costa —
Gal (1969) (180 gram pressing) ... LP Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1969. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Heady heady work from the legendary Gal Costa – caught here right at her early best, smack dab in the middle of the Tropicalia years!

Joao Donato —
Lugar Comum (180 gram pressing) ... LP Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A sweet electric 70s session from the mighty Joao Donato – very different than his earlier bossa work of the 60s – and with the same funky appeal as the best work on his classic Quem E Quem album! This set's got a tighter feel overall – very much in a samba soul style, with lots ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Odeon/Polysom (Brazil), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
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
Gilberto Gil —
Refavela (180 gram pressing) ... LP Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1977. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... Out Of Stock
One of the funkiest albums ever from Gilberto Gil – a set that beautifully mixes rootsy elements with tighter funk arrangements – in a style that's not unlike some of the 70s samba soul experiments from Jorge Ben! The record borrows heavily from American funk and soul of the time, and ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Joao Gilberto —
Amoroso (180 gram pressing) ... LP Warner/Polysom (Brazil), 1977. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A warmly intimate album from Joao Gilberto – one that has the singer and guitarist in the same special space as his wonderful albums from the early 70s - a bit more sophisticated than the bossa years, but equally personal throughout!

Jaime & Nair (180 gram pressing) ... LP CID/Polysom (Brazil), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Incredible stuff – the kind of obscure Brazilian 70s album that first got us into the music in the first place, and which keeps us digging through the racks for more and more over the years! The set is the first album ever recorded by the team of Jaime Alem and Nair De Candia – both of ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
RCA/Polysom (Brazil), 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $39.99 44.99
An obscure bit of Brazilian folk rock from the early 70s – recorded with an easygoing, laidback style that's really wonderful! The group's working mostly here in a blend of acoustic guitar and percussion – and some of the guitar work is done by Jorge Amiden of O Terco, using a strange ...

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
(Nice heavy vinyl – with a bonus poster too!)

Tim Maia (1971) (180 gram pressing) ... LP Polydor/Polysom (Brazil), 1971. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... Out Of Stock
One of the funkiest records ever from Brazilian soul legend Tim Maia – and a set that also has him singing a bit of English language lyrics too!

EMI/Polysom (Brazil), 2006. New Copy (reissue)... $39.99 44.99
Warmly mellow work from Marisa Monte – a record that's issued in conjunction with her samba-styled Universo Ao Meu Redor album, but which has a sound that's much more in keeping with her Memorias Cronicas E Declaracoes set from a few years back! The backings here are often mellow and ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Marisa Monte —
MM (180 gram pressing) ... LP EMI/Polysom (Brazil), 1989. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
The first album by Marisa Monte, and the start of a fantastic run of records – really strong work that had Monte emerging as maybe one of the strongest new acts in Brazil at the time!

Sony/Polysom (Brazil), 2021. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $62.99 69.99
The majestic Maria Monte rises yet again – serving up a really wonderful album that comes nearly a decade after her last – and one that seems to have her music getting better and better with each new release!

EMI/Polysom (Brazil), 2006. New Copy (reissue)... $39.99 44.99
A real departure for Marisa Monte – an album of samba tunes done in mostly traditional modes! The style here is often simple and classic – bits of guitar, percussion, cavaquinho, and slight use of keyboards to warm things up a bit – but mostly in a way that allows for the ...

Novos Baianos —
E Ferro Na Boneca (180 gram pressing) ... LP Som Livre/Polysom (Brazil), 1970. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A totally great album from Novos Baianos – the earliest one we've ever seen by the group, and a session that has them sounding a fair bit like Os Mutantes! There's a wild range of influences running through the set – some psychedelic, some baroque pop, and some a bit more rootsy – ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Novos Baianos —
Novos Baianos FC (180 gram pressing) ... LP Continental/Polysom (Brazil), 1973. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A great 70s album by Os Novos Baianos – a wonderfully youthful group that was one of the bright spots in Brazilian music after the Tropicalia years.

Orquestra Afro Brasileira —
Orquestra Afro Brasileira (180 gram pressing) ... LP CBS/Polysom (Brazil), 1968. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Totally fantastic work from this legendary group – a very early example of African and Brazilian modes crossing together – and served up in a style that's maybe even more hard-hitting than similar projects in more recent years! There's a very percussive sound to the album – as if ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Sergio Sampaio —
Eu Quero E Botar Meu Bloco Na Rua (180 gram pressing) ... LP Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A mix of post-Tropicalia Brazilian rock and some of the more soulful elements filtering through the country's music in the early 70s – and one of the most enigmatic albums by this unique singer! Sergio's got a sound that's incredibly hard to describe – at once sweet and melodic, but ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Coisas (180 gram pressing) ... LP Forma/Polysom (Brazil), 1965. New Copy Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A landmark in Brazilian music – the first album ever from arranger Moacir Santos, and a groundbreaking blend of jazz, larger arrangements, and Brazilian rhythms – still as fresh today as it was back in the 60s!

Chico Science & Nacao Zumbi —
Afrociberdelia (180 gram pressing) ... LP Chaos/Polysom (Brazil), 1996. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Believe it or not, the title's a pretty good way to describe this modern Brazilian rock release – as the music's a mish mash of newer beats and grooves, grounded in a hip hop/dance tradition, mixed with samples of older Brazilian rock influences – including stuff by Os Mutantes, ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Chaos/Polysom (Brazil), Early 90s. New Copy (reissue)... $39.99 42.99
A mad mix of loud guitar, wild samples, and heavy Brazilian percussion – all nicely topped with the soulful vocals of Chico Science!

Raul Seixas (O Carimbador Maluco) (180 gram pressing – with poster) ... LP Estudio Eldorado/Polysom (Brazil), 1983. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Raul Seixas looks a bit less freaky on the cover here than on some of his 70s records, but his sound is still nice and lean, and definitely on the edgier side of MPB – as befitting his initial role in the group Secos E Molhados! Seixas has really learned how to express himself at a deeper ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Sociedade Da Gra Ordem Kavernista —
Sessao Das 10 (180 gram pressing) ... LP CBS/Polysom (Brazil), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A wonderfully wild album – every bit as much as you'd guess from the cover – by a group that provided an early showcase for the talents of Raul Seixas and Sergio Sampaio – both artists who'd later have a big impact on Brazilian music in the 70s! The cover might look as trippy as ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Grande Liquidacao (180 gram pressing) ... LP Rozenblit/Polysom (Brazil), 1968. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Kick-ass early work from the great Tom Ze – recorded in the beginning of the Tropicalia years, but with a style that shows Ze sitting on the fence between rock/pop and some of his madder later work!
