Gilberto Gil - Um Banda Um (LP)
WEA 25 0006-1, 1982 Brazil More quality MPB by the Minister of Culture. A nice reggae touch to Esoterico but I favor the chilled Afoxe E and E Menina. Record in solid EX shape, cover with edge wear. OIS included.

Gilberto Gil - Luar (LP)
WEA 91050, 1981 Germany Feel good MPB by Gilberto Gil including the floor friendly Palco but also hidden gems like Morena or Caetano Veloso's Cara Cara. Clean EX vinyl, cover and printed inner sleeve in solid VG+ shape.

Milton Nascimento - Sentinela (LP)
Arabella 201 610, 1980 France Such talent Milton Nascimento and I like pretty much all his records. This late seventies recording is very laid back (great Sunday listen) but does have a few clubby tunes notably in Roupa Nova and the short but swee...

Various - O Povo Na TV Vol.1 (LP)
Copacabana 12823, 1982 Brazil Obscure compilation with tracks predominantly used in Brazilian TV shows. The obvious choice is Gretchen shaking her famous Bumbum in Mambo Mambo Mambo. Copy is pretty beaten up with lots of marks but still playable a...

Clara Nunes - Clara (LP)
Odeon 31C 062.421224, 1981 Brazil Later Clara Nunes album that in all ways stays true to her origins with good steady sambas and the odd Sunday chill ballad. Cover looks as it could have been signed by Clara herself but can not guarantee. Text inner ...

Alcione - Nosso Nome Resistencia (LP)
RCA 130.0015, 1987 Brazil Don't get put off by the late eighties recording date, Alcione still on top form. Bua Bua and Cancao Do Exilo my favorites but a good listen throughout. Solid EX plus plus copy with insert included.

Sergio Mendes - Love Me Tomorrow (7")
Elektra ELK 12254, 1977 Netherlands Super funky stuff by Mendes and his New Brasil '77 constellation. Love Me Tomorrow is alright but the real action starts on the flip with Mozambique. Record is EX, cover has small writing on front.
