Can't claim to have met Beth Carvalho but am sure she is great fun. Almost all her records picture nothing but good vibes and spirits. Musically it does not sound any different, happy days in Rio de Janeiro. Brazilian...

Never seen before album output by Samba Som Sete who is a famous samba grouping haling from Rio de Janeiro. Pretty consitent affair with highlight in Se Liga, No Terreiro and Quando A Galinha Criar Dente. Lovely EX co...

From the cover you'd be tempted to assume these dudes play pool rather than samba but judging by the music you know where their hearts at. Cover is close to EX, record has surface marks but playgrade is solid VG+

Not all modern samba records turns out positive but Marquinhos Sata pulls of a nice set for RCA with Roberto Ribeiro and Bezerra Da Silva joining the fun. Copy down graded to VG+ due to a surface line on a-side but pl...

The better album by Marquinhos Sata to my ear with Escorregar Nao E Cair and O Lugar great melodic vocal sambas. Record is strong EX close to NM and copy has insert included. Cover with ring wear.

Essential pick by Simone Bittencourt de Oliveira or simply Simone as she tends to go by. To Voltando and Povo Da Raca Brasil my favorites but a good listen throughout. Record with mild scuffs only, cover has some spot...

Spotless copy of this mellow Sunday at the beach MPB affair. Nice jazzy vibe on offer, all chill, nothing for the floor. Near mint vinyl, cover close to EX and poster insert is included.

Later affair by Brazilian singer Simone Bittencourt de Oliveira. Not sure if I like the downbeat Kalu or fast paced samba treat Disputa De Poser best, either way two very good reasons to run with this album. Original ...

Funky affair by the wonderful 'Forro' singer songwriter. One of her best with Essa Alegria, Chego Ja and Amor Com Cafe all great for playing out. Brazilian original in solid EX condition, cover shows edge wear. Insert...

Very much slept on Elba Ramalho album with lots of funky floor friendly forro on offer. Start with Forca Da for a feel of the direction. Crispy clean EX copy, cover has slightly bumped corners.

More catchy Beth Carvalho vinyl treats with the floor friendly samba dancer Mangueira E Suas Tradicoes or Peso Na Balança. Nothing rare but just nice Brazilian music featuring a who's who like Sivuca, Chinquinho or Ma...

Surely one of Brazil's most productive female artist and you would not have crossed with samba without crossing with Beth Carvalho. Coisinha De Pai, Nao Chora Nenem and Tem Nada Nao my faves but plenty to choose from....

Back in stock! This has to be the best Gilberto Gil album from his late seventies recording period. I like the title track a lot but the real deal is the fantastic Toda Menina Baiana. Vinyl in superb shape, cover with...

Gilberto Gil really showcasing his many talents mixing rock, jazz, boogie, reggae and more on Raca Humana. I guess it nicely captures the vast variety of human beings on this planet. Listen to the groovy A Mao Da Limp...

More Azymuth goodies that fans of Brazil jazz and fusion will love. Includes the marvelous Club Morocco and Indian Pepper. Clean copy with vinyl close to NM, cover has mild ringwear.

Funky jazz fusion made in Brazil by legendary Azymuth. Not as floor friendly as earlier affairs but still a great listen with Gate Of Time, Missing Doto and Mae Mine Guarana. Clean EX copy, disc borderline near mint.

Later affair by Azymuth on Milestone with Diza, Tropical Horizon nice mellow Brazilian jazz pieces. The scat vocal tune Theme For Tiago is the best tracks on my ears. Superb looing and sounding copy.

Cazuza is huge in Brazil, probaly more a popular pick in rock circles but this studio album has a nice mix of styles on offer. I partcularly warmed to the slow pieces like Um Trem Para As Estrelas or Faz Parte Do Meu ...

One of my favorite later recordings by Milton Nascimento. Great take on La Bamba and the Sock Ball, Marbles just sounds like the good old days... Near mint vinyl with ugly looking tear to front cover.

You can not fully explore the original Brazilian sounds without exploring the world of Joao Bosco. A very unique guitar style and always upbeat lyrics makes for a great listening experience. German only release on Tro...
