Gravado Ao Vivo No Maracanãzinho
*2024 stock * Recorded live at the Maracanãzinho gymnasium in 1974 for a TV Globo special and released in 1980. Good quality considering the time and the precariousness of Brazilian technology. Lot for the improvisations and the totally Rock'n Roll feel. This phrase stolen from the band's Orkut community says it all: "If, at that time, a mother ship had landed, for example, in the Praça dos Três Poderes in Brasília and dumped some aliens through its doors, it wouldn't have caused such an impact,…

Meu Balanço
This one takes us back! We originally reissued Waltel Branco's 'Meu Balanço' in 1995, it was one of the first releases to come out on Mr Bongo.

Waltel Branco was born in Paranaguá, Brazil in 1929 and died in Rio de Janeiro in 2018. During his triumphant career he accumulated an impressive musical portfo…
Perfeitamente, Justamente Quando Cheguei
Rubinho E Mauro Assumpção's 'Perfeitamente, Justamente Quando Cheguei' has to be up there as one of the finest Brazilian-psych-folk-MPB records we know.

This highly sought-after rarity was released on the Brazilian label Tapecar Records in 1972 and is the one and only album by the sensational pairing of Rubinho and Mauro Assumpçã…

Som
**CD edition** Persona is the brainchild of the Italian born, Brazil based, multimedia artist, Roberto Campadello, who, during the late 1960s and early '70s became highly regarded for a body of work that drew heavily on the I Ching.
