A. Jorge Ben & Toquinho - Carolina, Carol Bela
AA. Joao Donato - Ara

Jorge Ben & Toquinho - Carolina, Carol Bela 

Jorge Ben is a name that any lover of Brazilian music will be very familiar with. He is widely regarded as the James Brown of Brazilian music and is famed for writing the Brazilian anthem ‘Mas Que Nada'. For the duet ‘Carolina, Carol Bela' he teamed up with the singer & guitarist Toquinho. Toquinho is best known for his collaborations, as composer and performer, with Bossa Nova poet Vinicius de Moraes.

'Carolina, Carol Bela' featured on the album ’Toquinho’ by Toquinho. It was originally released in 1970 on the small independent Brazilian label, RGE. This version is the first time it has been reissued as a 45.  

The song was sampled by DJ Marky and XRS for their Drum & Bass track ‘LK’ (V Recordings, 2002). This went on to be a huge chart hit across the world, and a number one hit in the UK.

Joao Donato - Ara

Joao Donato is a Brazilian Jazz and Bossa Nova Pianist. He has collaborated with many of the greats of Brazilian Music, including Tom Jobim, Astrud Gilberto and Gilberto Gil. He was one of the few Brazilian artists who went over to perform in the States during the Bossa Nova boom of the late 60’s. The song ‘Ara’ was originally released on his seminal album Quem é quem”, (EMI, 1973), an album that is full of great tracks and was considered as one of the 100 best albums in all times by the Rolling Stone magazine.

Joao Donato - A Ra

http://www.mrbongo.com/product/tudo-ben-jorge-ben-covered-cd-1149

A collection of covers of master Brazilian musician and writer Jorge Ben. With such classics under his belt as Mas Que Nada, covered by the likes of Sergio Mendes, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie and Al Jarreau, and the song Taj Mahal which was the source of Rod Stewart’s Do You Think I’m Sexy?, Ben is a huge force in Brazilian popular music.

Often described as the James Brown of Brazilian music due to his prolific output, he is the most sampled Brazilian artist ever with people from the Black Eyed Peas to DJ Marky lifting elements off his tracks. His song catalogue has also been covered by some of the finest bands in Brazil.

This selection represents a more dance-floor orientated outing including mega rarities for the collecting fiends like Cosa Nostra by Os Mutreteiros Grilados and tracks that even Ben himself never got around to singing like Rei Do Maracatu's Cyro Aguiar.
Available on CD, LP, 7" and digital download.


Salinas - Tenha Fé, Pois Amanhà Um Lindo Dia Vai Nascer

Brazil 45, number 26: http://www.mrbongo.com/products/georgette-kirie-b-w-claudia-com-mais-de-30

'Kirie' is one of ‘those’ tracks. It gets better with every listen and you hear something different every time. You won’t forget it, and you can’t get it - taken from the hard to obtain ‘A Moca do Mar’ LP on Tapecar in 1976, previously unavailable on 7”. Long championed by Gilles Peterson and co.

Tight uplifting guitar changes, layered percussion and super-subtle strings groove under Georgette’s vocal, backed by a chorus of male vocals.

We are delighted to release this track, just in time for summer. Special thanks to Gareth ‘The Knowledge’ Stephens for digging it up.


As if the A Side wasn’t enough… The AA side features one of Claudia’s best, ‘Com Mais de 30’ a cover of Marcos and Paulo Sergio Valle original version.

Fuzz guitars, piano, huge drums, percussion and Claudia’s soaring vocal make for a heavy yet uplifting MPB/funk track of the highest order.

Features on her hard to find ‘Jesus Cristo’ LP on Odeon in 1971. Also featured on the Fourtet and Floating Points Plastic People mix.

Claudia - Com Mais de 30

Brazil 45, number 30. Brazilian disco/boogie double: http://www.mrbongo.com/products/marcos-valle-estrelar-robson-jorge-lincoln-olivetti-alleluia

Marcos Valle - Estrelar

Marcos Valle is back again, this time with the almighty ‘Estrelar’, his most well known disco/boogie track co-written with Leon Ware. Added hints of Yacht Rock too!

The video, filmed in Rio in the early 1980’s, is particular special and is well worth 5 minutes of your time. Marketed as “workout music" at the time, ‘Estrelar’ was his best-selling record with a total of around 90,000 sales.

‘Estrelar’ is taken from his 1983 self titled LP released on Som Livre. 

Robson Jorge & Lincoln Olivetti - Alleluia

Two of the masters of the Brazilian Boogie sound joined forces to make a self-titled LP released in 1982 that epitamised the sound of early 80’s Rio de Janeiro. Synths and keys float over razor sharp samba, jazz and 2-step drum grooves backed by huge layers of horns. Production is as shiny, bright and ultra clean as it ever got!

‘Alleluia’ is a mid tempo groover, with rich horns, guitar, synth and vocal lines. An end of the night jam if ever there was one.

Released on the LP mentioned above and also on 7” in 1983.

Neno Exporta Som - Deixa A Tristeza

Far Out Recordings proudly presents the 1975 self-titled debut album from Brazilian vocalist and bossa nova luminary Emilio Santiago. Nicknamed ‘the Nat King Cole of Brazil’, Santiago was a master bossa balladeer and a top-class crooner. But he is known equally for his Brazilian funk, soul and boogie classics. One of his best know is album opener ‘Bananeira’, a party-starting version of the song originally written by Joao Donato and Gilberto Gil. ‘Brother’ is a smooth-grooving killer with great horn arrangements and a huge backing choir, while ‘La Mulata’ is a soulful, swinging salsa stepper.

Originally released on the CID label, the album showcases the full range of Emilio’s talents, while paying homage to some of Brazil’s greatest composers, including Jorge Ben, Marcos and Sergio Valle and Ivan Lins among others. 

The credits on the album are a ‘who’s who’ of Brazil’s greats, with João Donato on keys, Wilson das Neves, Ivan ‘Mamão’ Conti and Paulinho on drums, Durval Ferreira, Carlos Roberto Rocha and Helio Delmiro on guitar, Ariovaldo, Orlandivo, and Chacal on percussion, Danilo Caymmi on flute, a brass section featuring Victor Assis Brasil, Edson Maciel and Jesse Sadoc, and backing vocals from Jaime and Nair, Lúcia Lins, Jurema and Marcio Lott.

More Artist Info:
Brazilian DJ in activity since 1989

Apaixonado por música desde a infância o paulistano FGON (AKA Fábio Gonçalves ou DJ FGON) cresceu em uma família que respirava música aos finais de semana. Essa é provavelmente a semente mais forte plantada em sua alma.
Aos 13 anos de idade já era residente em um dos clubes mais icônicos de São Paulo: FLASH. Sua natural busca e descoberta de músicas (novas ou clássicas) seria uma forte base para o aprimoramento de sua técnica. Durante os 15 anos que seguiram muitas casas e públicos o receberam, entre eles Paradise, Times,  Nepal e Free Pass como residente. Em outras, como convidado, com destaque para Warrior, Soundfactory Columbia, Excalibur e algumas outras.
Após um hiato de 10 anos longe da música, voltou a pesquisar e tocar em Brasília, capital federal. Foi curador de projetos e residente de lugares como IN THE BAR e LA RUBIA CAFÉ, e também passou a tocar em festas como PicNick, Festival COMA, Boogie e SOM+AR. Em 2018 fez tour por Londres e Nova Iorque para levar seu som e seus  remixes de música brasileira. Suas produções fazem parte do repertório de muitos dj's pelo mundo que tocam músicas da cultura brasileira em seus sets.
É difícil definir um estilo para um pesquisador e adorador da música. Talvez (mas apenas talvez) transicional seja justo para defini-lo. Seus sets podem ter uma vertente ou diversas dependendo do local, da atmosfera e do tempo do set. Mas em geral suas misturas possuem Afro Brasilidades, World Music, House e Disco Music, Downtempo, Música Orgânica, Étnica e Folclórica.
Fascinated by music since childhood, DJ FGON (AKA Fábio Gonçalves) grew up in a family that breathed music on weekends. This is probably the strongest seed planted deep in your soul.
At the age of 13 he was already dj in one of the most iconic clubs in São Paulo: FLASH. His natural search and discovery of music (new or classic) would be a strong basis for the improvement of his technique. During the 15 years he played in many venues, among them Paradise, Times, Nepal and Free Pass like resident DJ. In others, as guest DJ, highlighting Warrior, Soundfactory, Columbia, Excalibur and others.
After 10 years away from music, he returned to research and play in Brasilia, federal capital. He was a project curator and resident of venues like In The Bar and La Rubia Café, and also started playing at parties such as  PicNick, Festival COMA, Boogie and
 SOM+AR. In 2018 he made his own tour to London and New York to bring his sound and remixes of Brazilian music. Their productions are part of the set of many DJ's around the world that play songs of Brazilian culture.
It is difficult to define a style for a music researcher and worshiper. Maybe (but only maybe) transitional is fair to define it. Your sets may have a strand genre or several depending on the location, the atmosphere and time of the set. But in general have a mix of Afro Brasilities, World Music, Disco Music and House Music, Downtempo, Organic Music, Ethnic and Folklore.

Gosto Amargo de Vida
(Sebastião Valentim - Rubens Confeti - Anderson Antonio)
Morreu na boca da noite achando tudo certo
Dois berros e um patuá moleque mais esperto
Tomou de assalto um casal
Um grito ecoou no jardim
Maria ficou sem João e fim

Na boca um gosto amargo e não era cachaça
E tinha muito veneno e não fazia graça
Nos olhos cor de loucura, um gosto de fumaça
Doidão, doidão, doidão nas suas arruaças

E sempre aquela coisa ruim
Querendo lhe dominar
Menino escravo do mal
Seu nome no jornal

Era um bicho solto de dar pena
E mais caçado que animal
Só no coração de mãe pequena
Tinha esconderijo o marginal
