Famous Cavaquinho grinder Toco Preto playing mostly sambas but also the odd Bossa Nova thrown in. Own compositions and covers including a fine take of Gilberto Gil's Andar Com Fe. Record has a surface line on b-side b...

Benedito Costa plays bit hitters like Delicado or Edu Lobo's Ponteio on the Cavaquinho and doing a cracking job at it. Record is strong EX, cover with faint ringwear close to EX.

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 ...

Excellent eighties album including the fine groover Mister Samba, a really nice dancefloor treat by wonderful Alcione. Her discography is worth a lot more attention than granted by most. Original RCA press in lovely E...

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.

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 cover showing some edge and corner wear grading st...

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...

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...

Nice Brazil comp with pretty much all dancefloor tunes by MPB-4, Tom Jobim, Gal Costa and notably Tamba Trio Samba with Minha Terra and Mas Que Nada. Double album on German Philips in strong EX condition.

This is the German pressing of his 10 Anos Depois with indentical track listing. Lots and lots of clubby tunes here with Mas Que Nada, Cosa Nostra, A Minha Menina Kind of a medley styled record but works well. Strong ...

Untapped Latin / Brazil beats on small German latino label Castor. Tia Maria is my top choice but there a more useful spins on here. Nice copy but with a info sticker at cover.

Seldom seen Italian album release compiling lovely live takes from Greenwich Village and Carnegie Village during the sixties. Not a bad track on here and the release nicely captures all three artist's incredible talen...

Great Brazilian jazz with the title track always a popular choice with jazz DJs. Copy here is sealed so no soundclip but google for Mistura E Manda. His cover of Hermeto Pascoal's Chorinho Pra Ele is excellent as well.

One of his best albums produced by the legendary Sergio Mendes. It holds the huge Maracatu Atomico, that remains a dancefloor favorite around the world. Original German pressing.

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 is bordering near mint.

Seriously funky compilation here with Astrud Gilberto, Baden Powell and most notably the Franco-Brazilian group Os Maracatu. The Os Maracatu tracks here are exclusive to this comp. Some serious Barracuda and Samba gro...

Seldom seen MPS black label release of Brazilian original from 1971. A somewhat experimental project, different in style to his earlier recordings. Holds the classic E Isso Ai that J Dilla flipped for Slum Village. Ba...

Very funky affair from Brazilian singer Jair Rodrigues. Check out the opener Cesteiro for an idea of direction here. Brazilian originial in stunning condition.

East German quartett constelation led by Axel Donner on keys. Their only album blends a variety of jazz styles with strong influences from Brasil and Latin America. Stand out cut is Samba that would work in the clubs.
