A longtime favorite among Brazilian music collectors, Trio Ternura’s ‘A Gira’ blends mid-tempo grooves with percussive funk and soul in a way that feels effortlessly timeless. Originally released in 1973, the track was written by the group’s father and uncle as a heartfelt homage to the Candomblé deity celebrating nature and spirituality. Trio Ternura was a true family project, made up of three siblings with deep musical roots. According to them ‘A Gira’ captures “the dancing, the expression, the lyrics and musical relaxation – something very Brazilian.” The B-side features the trio’s soulful interpretation of Gato Barbieri’s Last Tango in Paris, adding a mellow cinematic touch to this sought-after release. After decades of eluding most collectors at a reasonable price—even the reissue from a few years ago has been fetching high prices—we're excited to make this incredible single available once again, cut at 45 RPM and remastered from the original tapes.
