Redondo Sambao / Brasileiro

We are celebrating the 100th release in the Brazil 45 series with a massive track. The enticing and exotic samba "Redondo Sambao" is pure Brazilian fire. With beautiful female vocal-group arrangements, floating flutes, and vibrating rhythms, this song oozes charm. Its only downside being that it is over far too soon.

Originally released in 1967 on a compact 7" on the Som Maior imprint, to our knowledge, the group sadly only had a couple of releases. "Brasileiro" is taken from Jorginho Telles' self-titled 1971 album and also featured on a 7", both released on Copacabana Records. The track switches between a hoarse male vocal crooner and a rough and raw psych-guitar, R'nB dancer: totally magic!
