The Eleventh Case of the Brazilian Symphony
I've got a nice set of Brazilian tunes for you today, music lovers...
I mix up some acoustic alt rock and Nordestino soul with some jazz-funk, boogie, and disco. It all comes together today as a nice playlist for a rainy spring day: moody, dreamy, psychedelic, and finally upbeat and energetic. A nice curve today to lift your spirits.
Special focus today on a couple LPs currently in the reissue train: just reissued by Mr Bongo is another fantastic album from Brazil's king of soul Tim Maia. The title is "Disco Club," and disco is there... but no shortage of funk and soul as well. The second reissue is still in the works, due in about a month: the fantastic "Azambuja & Cia" LP featuring the multi-talented Arnaud Rodrigues.
I throw in today several tracks from my favorite Arnaud Rodrigues LP "Som Do Paulinho," along with a raft of tracks by the talented singer/composer Paulo Diniz. Plus a real thrill: several tracks from my new favorite album I can't believe I lived without for so long, the self-titled 1976 release from Marku.
