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...

Who would have thought that Kitty Winter provides the vocals on this cheesy looking Cocktail International release. Adding to that a musical backing by Kuno Schmid, Ringo Hirth and Willi Gärtner from Gypsy Nova you kn...

Like many other Mabel releases this is not an easy find. Nice soulbeat dancers with loud drums and groovy bassline but just check their fine choir cover of Jobim's Triste. Short but sweet. Strongest VG+ condition cove...

Not the first time I have crossed paths with this oddball release as the cover of Morricone's Good, Bad & Ugly is great sample material but the clubby tunes are Tequila and Aquarius. Nice puppet cover art as well.

Top choice producer record with lush arrangements and lots of open guitar loops. Nice Brazil / Bossa vibes on Manha De Carneval. All the contributors are excellent with Siegfried Schwab, Martin Böttcher and Harald Win...

An amazing line up in Orexis, Martin Kolbe, Juray Galan, Jose Rogerio and many more. A fantastic double album with several 'exclusive' takes only available on this Xenophon release. Anyone with an ear for Bossa, Folk ...

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.

You have to love records like this... Completely unknown Brazilian studio group covering disco, rock, soul and funk classics like Nice and Slow, Isn't She Lovely and top things with a smashing take of Theme From S.W.A...

Seriously hot record here that I would expect any Cosmic Brazil fan would want to own. Pregunta A Un O.V.N.I is the winner with a 7 minuttes of floating Brazilian / Balearic disco. One of the best I have heard in a wh...

Super rare Brazilian recording out on French experimental label Cezame by the brothers Toninho and Paolo Ramos. Pretty much an all together enjoyable listen but they hit the spot perfectly on Amazonas, Saudade and Rut...
