Capitol, 1962. Very Good+ ... $14.99

Como Dizia O Poeta ... LP RGE (Brazil), 1971. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
One of the greatest 70s collaborations between Vinicius De Moraes and Toquinho – and a record that's made even nicer by vocals from co-composer Marilia Medalha!

Elis Regina —
Luz Das Estrelas (Elis 1984) ... CD Som Livre (Brazil), 1984. Used ... $9.99
One of the last albums recorded by Elis Regina before her untimely early death – a decidedly more modern effort than some of her previous work, done with a fair bit of 80s keyboards and rhythms – but still enough gentle space to let Elis' magnificent vocals dominate the record! There's ... read more CD
(Still sealed.)
Caetano Veloso —
Livro ... CD Polygram (Brazil), 1997. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A great 90s album by Caetano Veloso – a beautiful re-awakening of his genius in the later years of his career! The sound here is as fresh, creative, and personal as on some of Veloso's best post-Tropicalia albums of the 70s – served up in a blend of spare percussion, edgey guitars, and ... read more CD

Wanda Sa & Bossa Tres ... CD Abril Cultural (Brazil), 2000. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A lovely little bossa session that brings together the great Wanda Sa with the classic 60s combo Bossa Tres!

Flora Purim —
That's What She Said ... LP Milestone, 1978. Near Mint- ... $4.99
One of Flora Purim's last albums for Milestone – and much less of a straight Brazilian fusion session than some of her other records – more in the soul style she'd explore in years to come! Flora's singing in English a bit more than before, and some of the tunes have a nice dose of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the printed inner sleeve.)

Passaro Proibido ... LP Philips (Brazil), 1976. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $24.99

Sergio Mendes —
Sergio Mendes (1983) ... LP A&M, 1983. Near Mint- ... $2.99
Upbeat soul from Sergio Mendes – but a record that's still got a Brazilian heart beating underneath!

Africa Brasil ... LP Philips (Brazil), 1976. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A landmark recording that is one of Jorge Ben's best albums ever!

Quem e Quem ... CD EMI (Japan), 1973. New Copy ... $10.99 13.99
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 ... read more CD
Astrud Gilberto —
September 17, 1969 ... CD Verve (Japan), 1970. New Copy ... $10.99 13.99
One of the grooviest records ever from the lovely Astrud Gilberto – a session that beautifully mixes her usual bossa nova with bits of Sunshine Pop and other hip late 60s grooves – all in a mode that really takes off a lot more than other Gilberto albums on Verve! The style here is ... read more CD
Astrud Gilberto —
I Haven't Got Anything Better To Do ... CD Verve (Japan), 1969. New Copy ... $10.99 13.99
One of the darkest albums ever recorded by Astrud Gilberto – her 60s last session for Verve Records, and a batch of beautifully moody tunes throughout!

Os Mutantes —
Os Mutantes (1968) ... CD Universal, 1968. Used ... $6.99
A landmark album from late 60s Brazil! This is the first – and the wildest – album by this legendary group that was one of the founding forces of the Tropicalia movement – a brilliant musical statement that easily ranks with some of the most groundbreaking late 60s American work ... read more CD

Sergio Mendes —
Brasil '65 – Introducing The Voice Of Wanda De Sah (SHMCD pressing) ... CD Capitol (Japan), 1965. New Copy ... $14.99 18.99
That's Brasil 65, not Brasil 66 – a distinction that marks a key early stage for the great Sergio Mendes – heard here on one of his first albums to mix together bossa jazz and vocals! The approach here is a bit more like vintage bossa dates from Brazil – or a bit like some of the ... read more CD
Joao Gilberto —
Joao Gilberto (1973) (SHMCD pressing) ... CD Polygram/Universal (Japan), 1973. New Copy ... $14.99 18.99

Jorge Ben —
Samba Esquema Novo ... CD Philips/Universal (Japan), 1963. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
The start of an amazing legacy in Brazilian music – and a record that really lives up to its title! Jorge Ben completely reinvents the samba here – and comes up with his own new groove in the process – by blending sharp acoustic guitar lines with rootsy percussion – all at ... read more CD

A Bossa Maior De Elis Regina ... LP Elenco (Brazil), Late 60s. Very Good ... $11.99

Dreamy bossa pop from the A&M studios of the 60s – the Brasil 66 sound at its best!

Show Elis e Miele ... LP Philips (Brazil), 1970. Very Good+ ... $13.99
Great stuff! In a manner that's similar to (but better than) her live albums with Jair Rodriguez, Elis performs here in a great live show with the nutty Miele.

Wayne Shorter & Milton Nascimento —
Native Dancer ... LP Columbia, 1975. Very Good ... $14.99
A beautiful little album, very different than Wayne Shorter's other work, and sort of a "return of the favor" to the nation of Brazil for the country's rich musical influence on his music!
