Sao Paulo Brasil

One of the finest Brazilian jazz funk fusion albums ever recorded; thoroughly deserving of its cult status. Sao Paulo Brasil is the first official reissue outside of Brazil. Cesar Camargo Mariano is a celebrated Brazilian jazz pianist, composer, and producer, born in Sao Paulo in the 1940s. He has played and worked with the likes of Elis Regina (to whom he was married at one point), Som Tres, and Sambalanco Trio and still plays very regularly today.

Sao Paulo Brasil saw Mariano and co. step deep into jazz funk / fusion territory - and nail it. Tight, tough drum grooves, intricate arrangements, layers of synthesizers, percussion, and FX transport and tell a story from the first beat. This is an official Mr Bongo reissue, licensed from Sony Music.
