DJ goodies here from Jose Prates and his dance ensemble. Batucada heaven with loud in-your-face drums but the winner is clearly E Nana that always work a blast in the clubs. Like new copy with NM vinyl and cover in sh...

This one is still somewhat under the radar but actually one of the best releases on the French folk label, Arion. Brilliant mix of straight samba, batucada and forro. Listen to the hypnotic vibes of A Coroa Do Rei tha...

Highly recommended split album with half the action credited Orchestra Ipanema and the other half Grupo Novo Rio. Upbeat and funky at times, chilled and jazzy at others. All in all 23 tracks fitted on two discs in lo...

Solid set of samba dancers on late seventies recording. I like the mid tempo pieces best on this one but some fast and furious stuff to be found as well. Check the enjoyable Pra Que Vou Recordar O Que Chorei for a fee...

Rare samba release by Jorge Goulart on Som Livre. My highlights are the melodic Ily Aye and Bahia De Tidos Os Deuses. Record and cover in decent EX shape, very light distortion at intro turns and run in groove.

Stunning copy of this essential Braziliano DJ item ramped with action from the likes of Wilson Simonal, Os Batuqueiros, Gal Costa, Maria Creuza, Os Originais Do Samba and many more.

Very consistent affair by the famous Brazilian duo Antonio Carlos Marques Pinto and Jose Carlos Figueiredo. Diacho De Dor, Alarme Falso and Dona Flor E Seus Dois Maridos stand out but all in all a great listen.

First time find and turned to be a good one. Kind of modern forro with dancefloor friendly boogie vibes added with subtle accordion. Mule De Um is a real treat. The previous owner must have liked it as well as the tra...

Must have material to anyone exploring Brazilian music with the Queen of Forro on finest form. Love her ability to mix traditionals and contemporary styles. Enjoy the mid tempo rare groover Filho Das Indias. Stunning ...

Back in stock! Great and untapped 80s boogie by the Brazilian femme fatale. Joga Fora and Felix are both good but Olhos Coloridos is in simple terms fantastico. Give it a listen. Brazilian original record and cover st...

First time we have crossed paths with Marcus Pitter and it turned out much better than expected, four funky samba grooves on offer. Early seventies EP release with action from his Cenas De Ciume album. One or two naud...

I really like Paulinho Da Viola's sambas and this EP release showcase his talents perfectly. Enjoy the mellow Foi Um Rio Que but don't miss the upbeat Ruas Que Sonhei. Record is VG+ while cover is EX.
