Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
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 —
Negro E Lindo (180 gram pressing) ... LP Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A seminal set from Jorge Ben – one that mixes samba soul with more baroque arrangements from the legendary Arthur Verocai! The record's got a different feel than some of Jorge's other work – almost a wider vision of music that ties his usual funky style to some of the more ambitious ...

Jorge Ben —
Samba Esquema Novo (180 gram vinyl) ... LP Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1963. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
The start of an amazing legacy in Brazilian music – and a record that really lives up to its title!

Jorge Ben —
Tabua De Esmeralda (180 gram vinyl) ... LP Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
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 ...

Lo Borges —
Lo Borges (1972) (180 gram pressing) ... LP EMI/Polysom (Brazil), 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99 50.99
An incredible album from Lo Borges – one of the best singer/songwriters on the Brazilian scene of the 70s!

Cartola —
Cartola (1976) (O Mundo E Um Moinho) (180 gram pressing) ... LP Discos Marcus Pereira/Polysom (Brazil), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99
A 70s gem from Cartola – one of the key recordings done in a crucial flurry of activity in the later years of his career! There's a simple brilliance here that's hard to deny – aging vocals mixed with spare backings on guitar, flute, and percussion – all in a samba style that's ...

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! Cassiano's somewhere in the territory of contemporary Tim Maia – but is ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Gal Costa (1969) (180 gram pressing) ... LP Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99 50.99
One of the most mindblowing albums ever recorded – anywhere, anytime!

Quem e Quem (180 gram pressing) ... LP Odeon/Polysom (Brazil), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99 50.99
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 ... Just Sold Out!
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 ...

Gilberto Gil —
Refavela (180 gram pressing) ... LP Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1977. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $34.99
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
Jaime & Nair —
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

Robson Jorge & Lincoln Olivetti (180 gram pressing) ... LP Polysom (Brazil), 1981. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Great 80s grooves from this cool Brazilian duo – the guitar and vocals of Robson Jorge and a sweet range of keyboards from Lincoln Olivetti – tied together in a style that's got plenty of great electro soul touches!

Rita Lee —
Atras Do Porto Tem Uma Cidade (180 gram pressing) ... LP Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99 50.99
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!)
Polydor/Polysom (Brazil), 1972. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $34.99 50.99
A tripped-out batch of hard jamming tracks from ex-Mutante Rita Lee – recorded with assistance from all the members of the group at the time, but in a mode that's quite different overall! Lee is clearly the star of the show here – singing all lyrics with a much fiercer vocal approach ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Tim Maia —
Tim Maia (1973) (180 gram pressing) ... LP Polydor/Polysom (Brazil), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!

Marisa Monte —
Infinito Particular (180 gram pressing) ... LP EMI/Polysom (Brazil), 2006. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
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 —
O Que Voce Quer Saber De Verdade (180 gram pressing) ... LP Blue Note/Polysom (Brazil), 2012. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99
Wonderful work from Marisa Monte – and a set that may well be the greatest record we've heard from her in years! There's a freshness here that grabs us right away – with the lure we felt when first hearing Monte's music many years ago, but cast here in a completely different style, too ...

Marisa Monte —
Universo Ao Meu Redor (180 gram pressing) ... LP EMI/Polysom (Brazil), 2006. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
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 ...

Clube Da Esquina 2 (180 gram pressing) ... LP EMI/Polysom (Brazil), 1978. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $54.99
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
Warner/Polysom (Brazil), 1979. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $34.99 50.99
A gem of an album from Hermeto Pascoal – right up there with 70s classics like A Musica Libre and Slaves Mass – and done with a similar sort of energy that goes way beyond jazz, way beyond conventional Brazilian music – into territory that can only be described as Hermeto-like! ...

Polysom (Brazil), 2019. Sealed ... $19.99
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
Fermata/Polysom (Brazil), 1974. New Copy ... $34.99 50.99
A totally wonderful little soundtrack – Brazilian in origin, but with lots of the lush, warm tones we love in 70s Italian erotic scores too! The style is definitely Brazilian, though – and modes run from some of the cooler, larger arrangements you'd hear from Marcos Valle – ... (Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Chaos/Polysom (Brazil), Early 90s. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99 50.99
A mad mix of loud guitar, wild samples, and heavy Brazilian percussion – all nicely topped with the soulful vocals of Chico Science! The record's one of the group's earlier ones, and it's filled with a sense of raw power and experimentation that easily demonstrates why the band grabbed so ...

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

One of those impossible to find records by Tom Ze from the 70s – and well worth the search!
