Roupa Nova are hugely popular in Brazil and desite being a bit popish at times some of their tracks have a soulful feel. Bem Simples is a fine mellow piece and I really dig the vocal harmonies on Cancao De Verao. Rare...

Rare and recommended Luiz Caldas album release with lots of clubby boogie and MPB tunes plus the brilliant instrumental Classicaxe that you get in two different styled versions. There are open percussion breaks on a f...

With a cover like this and an late 80s recording date you kind of know the direction. Nice drumbreak on Ode E Adao and a good instrumental track called Fogo but unfortunately not as good as his earlier records.

Great and untapped 80s MPB / 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 with solid EX vinyl grade ap...

Such an underrated record with the fantastic club friendly Misturada and Tiro Cruzado plus the blissful cover of Jobim's Waters Of March. Solid VG+ copy with light wear only, cover and labels has radio station sticker...

Obviously a different style to his seventies recordings but I do like the jazz fused boogie dancer Dream Hunter and his big hitter Carneval. US original in clean EX condition, cover with cut out and light miscolouring...

Excellent soundtrack compostion by the musical master saluting one of the sporting masters. Quality bossa beats and soem great jazz dancers with Gerry Mulligan on sax. Hey, Pele even gets busy on vocals on Meu Mundo E...

Great upbeat Swedish Bossa Jazz on crispy clean Metronome original from 1967. Soul Dance, Bossa Bova Usa and Autumn Leaves stand out but a lovely listen all the way.

Amazing recording with the essential bossa nova anthem Tema Pro Luis by Rosinha De Valence originaly recorded for Saba / MPS in Villingen. Killer and a must to Brazil DJs and collectors. Other treats on offer in Valen...

From one of our many diggin tours in Scandinavia, this Cornelis Vreeswijk album is a must to all fans of European bossa nova. Sabu Martinez, Sture Nordin and Rune Gustafsson providing the backing. Great album and not ...

Saba 'Tree Label' sixties original with the wonderful jazzy Bossa Novissima that is exclusive to this release. Some other good guitar picking by Hans Haider and Ingo Werther but the former stand out. Very rare origina...

Ultra rare Brazilian jazz on private Alprende Music label, this is not a record that surface outside of Brazil all to often. Led by Chico's mellow guitar and the backing is exceptional. Listen to Luar Do Cacador for a...

Really enjoyed the Danca Das Gaivotas album by Jose Rogerio but this one is even better in my books. The ambient O Farol e a Mariposa is a true beauty and the vocal piece Carregamento makes you wonder why Jose did not...

An all folky affair but could work well in alternative mixes with some smashing drums thrown in on top. Plenty of open vocal snipppets and clean guitar picks as well for production. Rare original in very decent VG+ co...

Rare compilation with goodies by Banda Mel, Geronimo, Celso Bahia and many more. Love the mix of traditional styled samba with modern styled synth and drum machine patterns. Hard find in lovely condition, cover has sl...

Hard to find volume 2 of the popular Samba Suor E Ourico series. Some heated sambas and heavy hitting batucada burners on here however the downtempo tunes stand out. Check the fresh cover of Xica Da Silva by O Que Ser...

Interesting vocal performances with samba backing, I particularly warmed to Unindo Uma Miscigenacao and Poster Nago. Note that this copy has got some deep and audible scratches on the a-side with two tracks pretty mu...

Rare sixties carnaval get down with samba for days. João Roberto Kelly and Carlos Moraes join the local Copacabana Orchestra for the party time spirits. Clean EX condition with only a few inaudible marks.

Seriously funky compilation here with Astrud Gilberto, Baden Powell and most notably the Franco-Brazilian group Os Maracatu. Top choice Barracuda and Samba grooves for the dancefloor on this record. Like new copy with...

Quality compilation on Philips with a great mix of classic Bossa Nova / MPB pieces by Joao Gilberto, Elis Regina, Caetano Veloso and some rare picks by Wilson Simonal and MPB-4 of their respective hard to catch albums...
