A galera quer sorrir, a galera que cantar, a galera tá feliz...
ela quer comemorar"

A. Sandra de Sa - Olhos Coloridos / AA. Equipe Rádio Cidade - Bons Tempo Sao Paulo (Good Times)

Two brand new names for the Brazil 45’s series.

‘Olhos Coloridos’ is an 80’s MPB/boogie jam, thats sits perfectly alongside the likes of Maia, Valle, Jorge and Olivetti. Backed here, by some of the members from Banda Black Rio.

Taken from her self-titled 1982 LP on RGE Brazil.


‘Bons Tempo Sao Paulo (Good Times)’

Originally released on a rare promo only 7" from 1980, this is a Brazilian boogie version of Good Times by Chic / Rapper's Delight, voiced by radio DJs from Sao Paulo especially for the Christmas holiday season!

The replayed version of ‘Good Times’ stands up to the Chic version, and the added cuica heavy percussion breakdown gives it the true Brazilian flavour.

Sandra De Sa - Olhos Coloridos

BARATO TOTAL
(Composição: Gilberto Gil)
------------------------------------
Lá, lá, lá, lá, lá, lá, lá
Lá, lá, lá, lá, lá, lá, lá
Quando a gente tá contente
Tanto faz o quente, tanto faz o frio, tanto faz
Que eu me esqueça do meu compromisso
Com isso ou aquilo que aconteceu dez minutos atrás
Dez minutos atrás de uma idéia já deu
Pra uma teia de aranha crescer e prender
Sua vida na cadeia do pensamento
Que de um momento pro outro começa a doer
Lá, lá, lá, lá, lá, lá, lá
Lá, lá, lá, lá, lá, lá, lá
Quando a gente tá contente
Gente é gente (gato é gato!)
Barata pode ser um barato total
Tudo que você disser deve fazer bem
Nada que você comer deve fazer mal
Quando a gente tá contente
Nem pensar que está contente
Nem pensar que está contente a gente quer
Nem pensar a gente quer, a gente quer
A gente quer, a gente quer é viver


Gal Costa E Nacao Zumbi - Barato Total

Mundo Livre SA - Meu Esquema

Tim Maia, THE Brazilian Funk Soul Godfather was the real thing. His 1970 debut album introduced his audacious talent, as well as North American soul and funk musical influences, forever changing Brazilian popular music. His legendary appetites sought out carnal AND spiritual fulfillment in equal measure.  He bought 100 hits of LSD and handed them out to the staff of his record label. At the height of his mid-70s success he joined the Cult of Racional Energy; watching for spaceships while wearing only white clothes and playing only white instruments! Yet the two albums he recorded for the Cult are among his best. His songs search for love, and they dig into the existential. His own lyrics say it best: “I am so groovy now and I don’t care!”
