Just in time for NYE, here's a track I most recently fell in love with in 2014 that will carry on into 2015 and beyond.  Such a talent, just wanted to make it bounce a little more and DJ friendly.  If you want a wav just message me.

Brazil 45, 39 – http://www.mrbongo.com/products/claudia-macumba-baoba-7

A. Claudia - Macumba / AA. Claudia - Baoba

Our leading lady of the series, Claudia, is back once again, this time with double A side.

‘Macumba’ is taken from one of her several self-titled LP’s, the one in question released in 1970 on Premier, Brazil. Sought after in its original form.

Psychedelic, orchestral, MPB, exotica with hints of Bollywood! Horns strings and spaced out male vocals back Claudia’s amazing lead. Highly unique.

‘Baoba’ is taken from Claudia’s all killer no filler Jesus Cristo LP, from Odeon released in 1971. 

Heavy on the strings and tough on the funk drums, before it breaks into a vocal jazz section, then back into the groove. Reminiscent of Swedish folk-funk singer Doris, whose album we reissued in the past.

Brazil 45, 40 – http://www.mrbongo.com/products/sandra-de-sa-olhos-coloridos-equipe-radio-cidade-bons-tempo-7

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.

Marcos Valle was born in Rio de Janeiro and took piano and music theory lessons as a young child. As he grew older he developed a taste for live music at bars and clubs, where he’d listen to jazz. 
With his brother, Paulo Sergio Valle, he wrote a number of hits and made his first album, Samba Demais in 1964. He headed to the United States the following year, where Walter Wanderley successfully recorded the song Samba de Verão. The songs  Preciso Aprender a Ser Só and Terra de Ninguém are also from that period as well as Samba de Maria, O Amor É Chama, Viola Enluarada (recorded with Milton Nascimento), Dia de Vitória, Gente, Seu Encanto and Ao Amigo Tom.

This compilation covers Marcos Valle's samba work from 1968 up to the late 1970s.  Available on CD.

This Schnitzel is baked on both sides, has got an acid kick on the one side, and an up tempo seared crust on the other. SNZL002 is vinyl only, and limited to 500 copies.
