Big Band fun out of Rio with plenty of cheese but as usual there are also funky elements. Their take of Exodus is decent but my favorite is freakbeat styled Secret Love. Solid EX cover and vinyl.

If you like your Brazilian carneval sambas this one has got plenty on offer. Upa Upa, Cachaca, Quem Sabe Sabe and another stack of Rio festival rhythms. Marks on vinyl but plays well.

Another great compilation on the French Festival label with lots of worthwhile Sambas and Batacudas. Plenty of hairlines on vinyl but plays a very credible VG. Check soundclip.

If you are looking for true origins of Brasil look no further. Unique field recording with chants, drums, flute and much much more. Few light marks and scuffs but plays great.

Nascimento is joined by Mercedes Sosa and Leon Gieso for this live set from Buenos Aires. Listen to Circo Marimbondo. German gatefold pressing in strong EX condition, bordering NM.

Manfred Wipfli who comped this back in '77 did a pretty good job and the album at times matches some of the best compilations of recent years. Cesar Sampaio, Erasmo Carlos and the Gerson Combo are my favorites but pre...

Not a rare record but does not mean it is not good. George Duke at the production knobs and he brought in Patrice Rushen, Embamba, Ndugu and the most of the ususal suspects. Some discofied fusion tracks on here, the f...

Completely underrated affair by famed Brazilian percusionist that I belive would sit well with disco heads. Check The Groove that does everything the tittle suggest. Killer stuff in NM condition.

Carnival vibes all day every day and captured perfectly on this cute Top Tape four track EP straight out of Rio. Check Quem Conta Um Conto Aumenta Um Ponto for a little feell of the vibes.

Essential dancefloor item. Jazz funk of the finest kind, recorded in Brazil. Would not leave the house without it. Rare German pressing in cool picture cover. Stamp on back, record is clean.

Brilliant upbeat Bossa dancers by Wanderley Alves Dos Reis and friends working under the Wando alias. Both sides are rocking. Original French pressing in solid EX condition.

Brazilian samba slice with a killer intro on Disco Voador that could be looped and used in a tropical styled mix or production. Some other synthy bits making it a useful piece for disco heads as well as Braziliano fan...

British band leader Tony Hatch with a solid set of latin and bossa grooves. Great DJ item with Soul Bossa Nova and Light My Fire good clubby tunes while beatheads will surely love the heavy Herbie (soundclip). Clean E...

Mixed back of Latin and Brazil tinged themes by library main man Alan Tew. Gotta love The Troubleshooters but The Carnical Is Over would work well in a Bossa Nova setting.

Interesting compilation mixing samba, bossa and soulful dancefloor MPB. Good blend of classic Brazilian artists and some very rare stuff by Joao Nogueira, Agepe, Bezerra Da Silva. Check Bebeto's uplifting Grito De Gue...

Has to run with this Hoecht Chemicals promotional album as surely a one time find. The Sao Paulo Philhamonics join forces with the Severino Araujo group tackling classical, traditional compositions. Nothing dead funky...

Promotional album made by Schering AG and handed to guest at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Congress in Rio. Highlights in Joyce's wonderful interpretation of Girl From Ipanema, Baden Powell's Se Todos Fossem and the f...

Clubby Brasiliano beats with Ye Me Le and Masquerade some all time faves by the master. US pressing with strong VG+ vinyl grade, cover has light ringwear.

Although a different sound to his early recordings you can never write off the master. Jazzy and funky with a little Brazilian spice obviously. Listen to Emorio for a feel of the direction of the album. Gatefold cover...

DJ weaponary by Sergio Mendes with stacks of heavy hitters packed unto one fantastic double album. Pais Tropical, Ye Me Le, Viramundo, Cancao Do Nossa Amor and more. Gatefold cover has pen marks on back and a little l...
