Brasil

Our leading lady of the series, Claudia, is back once again, this time with double A side.'Macumba' is taken from one of her several self-titled LP’s, the one in question released in 1970 on Premier, Brazil. Sought after in its original form.Psychedelic, orchestral, MPB, exotica with hints of Bollywood! Horns strings and spaced out male vocals back Claudia's amazing lead. Highly unique.'Baoba' is taken from Claudia's all killer no filler Jesus Cristo LP, from Odeon released in 1971. Heavy on the strings and tough on the funk drums, before it breaks into a vocal jazz section, then back into the groove. Reminiscent of Swedish folk-funk singer Doris, whose album we reissued in the past.

'Olhos Coloridos' is an 80's MPB/boogie jam, thats sits perfectly alongside the likes of Maia, Valle, Jorge and Olivetti. Backed here, by some of the members from Banda Black Rio. Taken from her self-titled 1982 LP on RGE Brazil.'Bons Tempo Sao Paulo (Good Times)' was originally released on a rare promo only 7" from 1980, this is a Brazilian boogie version of Rapper's Delight / Good Times by Chic, voiced by radio DJs from Sao Paulo especially for the Christmas holiday season! The replayed version of 'Good Times' stands up to the Chic version, and the added cuica heavy percussion breakdown gives it the true Brazilian flavour.

When Greg Caz and Deano Sounds teamed up to create The Brasileiro Treasure Box Of Funk & Soul they created a collection of vintage Brazilian music that stretches across the scope of funk, soul, and psychedelic. Co-compiler and Brazilian music aficionado, Greg Caz says: “Without necessarily having a central theme other than funky nuggets from the first half of the 70s, we believe this compilation displays its own particular sense of logic, and that these songs ultimately all sound fantastic together. Regardless of one’s familiarity, or lack thereof, with artists like Antonio Carlos & Jocafi, Os Incríveis, Toni Tornado or Celia, the material on these 45s speaks its own truth and justifies their inclusion here. Many of these were originally available as singles, while others were taken from albums, but all are guaranteed to find their way into many DJ boxes and playlists.”The stunning 45s from this set will now be available for individual sale. The series kicks off with Toni Tornado’s 1972 single Bochechuda b/w Aposta.
