One of the building blocks of the late 60s Tropicalia scene in Brazil – and a standout solo debut from the young Caetano Veloso! The album's got an approach that's as dynamic and trippy as its cover image might imply – the same amazing blend of sounds and styles you'd hear on ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Toco —
Riviera ... LP Schema (Italy), 2024. New Copy ... $32.99 36.99
Maybe the greatest album to date from Toco – warm, jazzy, and filled with all of the best influences from Brazilian music – served up with live instrumentation that brings even more soul to the music than some of the artist's sparer sessions! Toco since throughout, with this raspy ... (New Grooves, Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Riviera ... CD 18.99
Geraldo Vandre —
Pra Nao Dizer Que Nao Falei Das Flores ... LP Som Maior (Brazil), 1968. Very Good+ ... $11.99
Brilliant work from Geraldo Vandre – an overlooked singer/songwriter who was a key bridge between the early bossa years and more sophisticated MPB sounds in the 70s! In the years immediately preceding the rise of the MPB giants of the post-Tropicalia years, Geraldo Vandre was one of Brazil's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Rubel —
As Palavras Vol 1 & 2 (pink vinyl pressing) ... LP Mr Bongo (UK), 2024. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $32.99 35.99
A contemporary set, but one that may well be destined to become an instant classic in the world of Brazilian music – as the young Rubel has a way of embracing so many traditions of his culture, while also finding a way to move things forward boldly!

Dorival Caymmi —
Eu Nao Tenho Onde Morar ... LP Odeon (Brazil), 1960. Very Good+ ... $13.99
Magical early work from Dorival Caymmi – and the kind of record that easily shows why he was such a huge influence on Brazilian music!

(60s mono green label pressing, still in the plastic outer sleeve, with light surface wear and aging.)
Antonio Carlos & Jocafi —
Definitivamente ... LP RCA (Brazil), 1974. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
Fantastic 70s material by this unique Brazilian combo!

Filled with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some surface wear.)
Gal Costa —
Agua Viva ... LP Philips (Brazil), 1978. Very Good+ ... $34.99
Warmly jazzy and beautifully lyrical work from Gal Costa – a bit of a departure from the darkness of her earlier albums, but still plenty darn great!

(Includes the insert! Cover has light edge wear, small split on spine.)
Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 —
Ye-Me-Le ... LP A&M, 1969. Very Good+ ... $11.99
Way past the hits, and into some really great territory – a move that makes the record one of our favorite Sergio Mendes sets for A&M! The sweeter bossa pop style here is undercut with a bit more influence from late 60s Brazilian grooves – some of the more baroque turns that Sergio' ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original stereo pressing. Cover has ring & edge wear, splitting on the upper spine.)
Deodato —
Whirlwinds ... LP MCA, 1974. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
Sweet keyboard soul from Deodato – a set that steps off nicely from the strengths of his big hits on CTI, hitting a similarly flowing groove that's really great! The instrumentation here is a bit more expanded than before, but never in a way that buries the keyboards – and Deodato's ... (Jazz, Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original black label pressing. Cover has light edge wear, small top seam split.)
Caetano Veloso/Philips (Brazil), 1974. Very Good+ ... $34.99
Great live material from 1974, recorded in Bahia, and featuring Caetano, Gal, and Gilberto Gil – each performing tracks on their own!

(Original pressing. Cover has some wear.)
Stan Getz & Laurindo Almeida —
Stan Getz With Laurindo Almeida ... LP Verve, 1963. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $24.99
One of the best of the Stan Getz bossa nova sessions – and a record that features the great Laurindo Almeida on guitar – playing with more virtuosity than either Charlie Byrd or Joao Gilberto did on their collaborations with Getz! The record's got a driving rhythm section, with lots of ... (Jazz, Brazil) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo MGM pressing.)
Martinho Da Vila —
Rosa Do Povo ... LP RCA (Brazil), 1976. Very Good- Gatefold ... $6.99
What a voice on this guy! Without a doubt, Martinho Da Vila is one of our favorite 70s samba singers – and he sounds wonderful on this obscure mid 70s set! The arrangements are tight and percussive – not as smooth as you'd expect from the date – and Da Vila's vocals are rootsy ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing. Includes lyric insert. Cover has light wear.)
Osmar Milito —
Viagem (180 gram pressing) ... LP Continental/Elemental (Spain), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 29.99
Gentle, breezy, and wonderful – a rare 1974 album by Osmar Milito, a Brazilian arranger of the post-bossa era, and a mad talent with a bit of a dark edge! The record takes all the airy brilliance of the previous Brazilian generation, and moves it forward with a different sense of space and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Joao Donato —
New Sound of Brazil – The Piano Of Joao Donato ... LP RCA, 1965. Very Good+ ... $24.99
Darkly brilliant – and one of Joao Donato's most fantastic records! The set was recorded during Joao's time in America in the mid 60s – cut in New York with lofty backings by Claus Ogerman, in a pillowy soft mode that fits perfectly with Joao's light bossa piano lines, and which has ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing with deep groove. NOTE – Vinyl is nice and clean, but the cover has heavy wear & staining on the bottom 3 inches or so with peeling, clear tape, and waviness.)
Gal Costa —
India ... LP Philips (Brazil), 1973. Near Mint- ... $79.99
One of the richest, most expressive albums ever from the great Gal Costa – a set from her immediate post-Tropicalia years, and one that shows that she's got a lot more to offer than just a wild sense of experimentation! Gilberto Gil is the musical director here – with help from Rogerio ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Brazilian pressing from 1983 in a non-gatefold cover, with some edge wear.)
Laurindo Almeida —
Virtuoso Guitar ... LP Crystal Clear, 1977. Near Mint- ... $14.99

Caetano Veloso —
Transa (180 gram pressing) ... LP Philips/Vinyl Lovers (Italy), 1972. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
Some of the most beautiful work ever recorded by Caetano Veloso – an album that carries on the style of English language lyrics used on his session in exile in 1971, but which also introduces him back to the world of Brazilian popular music! The album's a great transition for Veloso – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Gal Costa —
Legal (180 gram pressing) ... LP Philips/Endless Happiness, 1970. New Copy ... $27.99 29.99
Essential early material by Gal Costa!

The core of the music is still steeped in Brazilian elements – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Joyce —
Joyce (1968) ... LP Philips/Endless Happiness, 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $27.99 32.99
The first album by Joyce – one of our favorite Brazilian singers ever!

Work Of Love ... LP Nucleus, 1967. Sealed ... $1.99
A light and dreamy set of Brazilian vocal tracks – recorded in 1967, and featuring the voice of singer Lenita Bruno, a strong 60s talent with a style that's somewhat like Sylvia Telles.

Elis Regina —
13th Montreux Jazz Festival ... LP Elektra (Brazil), 1979. Very Good- ... $7.99
A stunning live recording from Elis Regina – one of the last few records she cut during her short time on this planet – and one of the best as well!

Wonderful World Of Antonio Carlos Jobim ... LP Warner, 1965. Very Good ... $11.99

Trio Mocoto —
Trio Mocoto (1977) ... LP Arlequim/Mr Bongo (UK), 1977. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
Trio Mocoto first rose to fame as the funky band behind Jorge Ben on his early 70s classics – the combo that gave him such a soulful sound – and here on their own, they sound pretty darn great – with a style that follows the same evolution as Jorge's own sound at the time! The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Pedro Santos —
Krishnanda ... LP CBS/Mr Bongo (UK), 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 29.98
A totally unique album from the Brazilian scene of the 60s – a set that was recorded right in the middle of the big Tropicalia years, but which has more of the earthier touches that would emerge in the Brazilian scene during the 70s! Yet there's also a sense of tight arrangement here too ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Krishnanda ... CD 9.99
Laurindo Almeida —
Latin Guitar ... LP Dobre, 1976. Sealed ... $14.99
