Brazilian Elenco album release with dancefloor fun for days with Amor Ate O Fim, Vou Deitar E Rolas and Roda my faves but overall a great listen. Must have material to anyone into clubby Brazilian vibes. NM- vinyl gra...

Brazilian crooner Moacyr Franco jazzin it up with full big band setting. Cinematic themes and oddball stuff on this Copacabana original dating mid sixties. Check Meu Querido Lindo. VG copy with taped seams, record wit...

Great 70s compilation on early work by famous singer Emilinha Borba who's vocals are to be found on samba and forro works by Luiz Gonzaga, Humberto Teixeira and many more. Not often we see her records around so a good...

Great stuff by the MPB pioneer, this one has lots of jazzy elements. Should sit well with fans of Balearic summer sounds. Brazilian original in flawless shape not far from NM, thick printed inner sleeve included.

Wonderful creative piece by the Brazilian maestro blending different styles like samba, bossa, reggae perfectly. Mar De Copacabana, Soy Loco and Mardi 10 Mars stand out but a good listen throughout. Vinyl with faint h...

Soundtrack recording by Gilberto Gil that includes the essential dancer Pagode Do Santinha by Grupo Guine that is exclusive to this album. Lots of boogie / jazz funk instrumentals for mixing on here as well. French on...

In demand Rita Lee E Roberto Do Carvalho release with the clubby Me Recuso and Pega Rapaz both firm favorites around here. Brazilian original complete with inner sleeve, cover has tear to front and writing on back, re...

The Rita Lee and Roberto de Carvalho joint venture still has not really blown up outside of Brazil but their records all deserve attention, notably by boogie, wave and disco fans. Check Atlantida for a feel of this po...

Seriously funky compilation here with Astrud Gilberto, Baden Powell and notably the Franco-Brazilian group Os Maracatu. Some serious Batucada, Bossa and Samba grooves for the floor on this record. Check out Birimbau a...

Traditional Samba school recording but rather than a 'live' take here you get a studio recording without the background 'noice' of people celebrating the streets of Rio during the carnaval. Cover in shrink, disc is cl...

Mixed bag of sambas but mostly funky and dancefloor friendly. Highlights are the fine cover of Martin Cerere and the always popular Ilu Aye. Softest scuff on record, cover is clean EX.

Excellent Tropical Music compilation by Milton Nascimento with highlights in Filho, Anima and the killer title track Noticias Do Brasil. German only pressing in lovely EX shape, cover has light shelf wear. Text inner...

Brilliant Bossa Nova and Samba Jazz on this German only RCA pressing from '76. Samba Am Berlin and Aquarela Do Brasil are both great but start with Samba, Viola E Eu introducing Heloisa Raso on vocals. Blissful! Soft ...

Wonderful recording from Rio De Janeiro with Waldir Azevedo as special guest. For some reason only ever saw a release in Germany. Samba, jazz and bossa nova pave the way with a good blend of own compositions and cover...

Brilliant mellow bossa jazz release exclusively in Germany on the Intercord sister label Xenophon. Great cover of Berimbau on here and his own Joao Da Caoa Preta is really fine too.

One of many useful Trilha Nacional Da Novela recordings, this one with Rita Lee and Roberto, Caetano Veloso, Erasmo Carlos and more. Start with the smooth jazz instrumental A Ilha by Leo Gandelman.

Recommended telenovela soundtrack with a fine mix of samba, forro and bossa. Treats on offer by Ze Ramalho, Moraes Moreira, Fafa and Alceu Valenca just for starters. Brazilian original on Som Livre in straight EX shap...

Kind of 'greatest hits' album by Rio's samba head José Bezerra da Silva. Very funky affair with no dull moments in sight. Check Pega Eu.

Madlib fans will recognise this immediately from his Flight to Brazil Medicine Show mixtape. Musically back to back heat by Tom Jobim, Caetano Veloso and Ary Barroso plus you get the Cruzeiro Airlines captain commenti...

Elizabeth Santos Leal de Carvalho or Beth as we know her teaming with a number of prolific samba artists from Rio. Essential for the Nelson Cavaquinho collaboration Deus Me Fez Assim but Virada and Gorjear Da Passarad...
