Maria Fumaca (180 gram pressing) ... LP 
Warner/Polysom (Brazil), 1977. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
An excellent album by one of the greatest Brazilian funk bands ever – a wonderful blend of funk, jazz, and soul – and a set that rivals any of the best work coming from the US at the time!

Arnaldo Baptista —
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! The album was recorded right after the first few classics by Os Mutantes – in 1974 – and Baptista wrote all of the songs, except for one, which lists ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
A landmark recording that is one of Jorge Ben's best albums ever! The album is a perfect realization of the way that Jorge mixes Brazilian rhythms with choppy Afro grooves – and the result is a masterpiece that yeilded some of his biggest tracks ever. Included here is the great choppy funk ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Jorge Ben —
Tabua De Esmeralda (180 gram vinyl) ... LP 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! The album's got a slightly fuller feel than some of Ben's other work of the time – never slick, but with backings balanced nicely against his own raspy vocals and acoustic guitar ...

Polydor/Polysom (Brazil), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99
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! Cassiano's somewhere in the territory of contemporary Tim Maia – but is ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Gal Costa —
Gal (1969) (180 gram pressing) ... LP Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99

Joao Donato —
Quem e Quem (180 gram pressing) ... LP Odeon/Polysom (Brazil), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99
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
Flaviola —
Flaviola E O Bando Do Sol (180 gram pressing) ... LP Rozenblit/Polysom (Brazil), 1974. New Copy ... $32.99
A gem of a record from the same Pernambuco early 70s scene that gave us Lula Cortes, Ze Ramalho, Geraldo Azevedo, and Alceu Valenca! This obscure little set has lots of the earthier tones that showed up in work by the above artists – a style that mixes folksy touches with bits of psychedelia ...

Also available Flaviola E O Bando Do Sol ... CD 4.99(Limited edition.)
Discos Continental/Polysom (Brazil), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99
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 ...

Joao Gilberto —
Amoroso (180 gram pressing) ... LP Warner/Polysom (Brazil), 1977. New Copy (reissue)... 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! The set was co-produced by Helen Keane – who was ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Hyldon —
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 ...

Milton Nascimento —
Clube Da Esquina 2 (180 gram pressing) ... LP EMI/Polysom (Brazil), 1978. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A second great statement from the "corner club" of Milton Nascimento – that special assemblage of musicians from his home territory of Minas Gerais, augmented here in slight ways that maybe make the album an even more ambitious record than the first! All the best artists from the ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Polydor/Polysom (Brazil), 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99
The second set of madness from the legendary Os Mutantes – and like the first, an album done in close collaboration with arranger/producer Rogerio Duprat, whose talents add a new level of genius to the record!

Continental/Polysom (Brazil), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99
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 ...

Polysom (Brazil), 2019. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99
Brazilian singer Elba Ramalho is still going strong – and maybe sounding better than ever, partly due to a matured quality in her vocals – which makes things sometimes sound deeper than in the early years! The style here is a mix of older forro elements with more contemporary touches ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Polysom (Brazil), 2019. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99
A really beautiful album from Roberta Sa – one that's almost entirely based around songs by Gilberto Gil, many of which were also co-written by Roberta too! Gilberto plays guitar on all tracks, and Jorge Ben makes a guest appearance too – but the record is definitely Robert's own all ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Moacir Santos —
Coisas (180 gram pressing) ... LP Forma/Polysom (Brazil), 1965. New Copy Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

A Brazilian rock classic! The band had a very sophisticated sound that mixes nice vocal production with spare arrangements supported by guitar, piano, and bass.

Raul Seixas —
Krig-Ha Bandolo (180 gram pressing) ... LP Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99

Polysom (Brazil), 2019. New Copy ... $23.99
A killer set from Brazilian trombonist Marlon Sette – a player who seems likely to take on the legacy of Raul De Souza, through his own mix of jazz, funk, and soul! The set's all instrumental, with plenty of strong solos from Sette – working in a combo that also features Alex Meirelles ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album

An incredible early album by this legendary Brazilian band with a strong late 60s/early 70s progressive flair! While not as countercultural as Os Mutantes or other Tropicalia artists, Som Imaginario shared with them a sense of pure musical inventiveness, and a love of psychedelic flourishes – ...

Funky soul from Toni Tornado – one of the first talents in Brazil's samba soul generation of the 70s!

Cinzento (180 gram pressing) ... LP Polysom (Brazil), 2020. New Copy ... $32.99
One of our favorite Brazilian artists of all time – stepping out here with a record that really lives up to all the faith we've had in his music over the decades!

Se o Caso E Chorar (180 gram pressing) ... LP Continental/Polysom (Brazil), 1972. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Wonderful 70s work from Tom Ze! The record's a bit more straightforward than some of his other records from the decade, and has a number of tracks with a samba sound at the base – but there's more than enough fantastic material to keep the record fresh, and Tom's writing is as great as ever. ...
