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.

The sixth of eight installments of the all-Brazilian compilation series

Black Alien - Como eu te quero

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.

Os Originais Do Samba - Falador Passa Mal

Brazil 45, number 32 - http://www.mrbongo.com/products/tom-ze-jimmy-renda-se-jorge-ben-take-it-easy-my-brother-charlie-7

Ze’s ‘Jimmy Renda-se’ is instantly recognisable thanks to the driving lead guitar intro and funk drums; Tropicalia at it’s finest. The track is taken from his 1970 self-titled LP. As sampled by Ameriie on ‘Take Control’ and recently included in the soundtrack to ‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E’.

We thought it was time to release this all-time classic samba-rock/MPB song by Jorge Ben, also known as ‘Take It Easy My Brother Charles’. Taken from his self-titled 1969 LP on Philips Brazil and also released on a 7” EP the year before.

Sampled by Drumagick on their Drum & Bass big hitter ‘Easy Boom’.

LUCRO(DESCOMPRIMINDO)

Tim Maia was the man.

 A soul superstar with outsize talents and appetites, he revolutionized popular music in his native Brazil in the 1970s. He also married five times, served multiple prison sentences, and at the height of his fame, joined a UFO-obsessed religious cult.

After a decade of legal wrangling, Luaka Bop is set to release ‘Nobody Can Live Forever: The Existential Soul of Tim Maia’ a fifteen track survey of Maia’s 1970s recordings, completely remastered, commemorating what would have been the Brazilian musical legend’s 70th birthday on September 28. The release is the fourth in the label’s World Psychedelic Classics series, known for unearthing long neglected masterworks by Os Mutantes, Shuggie Otis, and one of the first compilations of African psychedelia and funk.

Tim Maia’s story is the stuff of legend, and indeed he is the subject of a best-selling biography, TV movie, and hit musical in Brazil. Growing up in Rio, he formed his first band at age 14 and taught local gang members to play guitar. In 1959, aged 17, he illegally emigrated to Tarrytown, NY where he studied communications, worked as a janitor, and formed a new band, The Ideals. Four years later he was jailed and deported for smoking marijuana in a stolen car. He returned to Brazil deeply inspired by American soul music and the civil rights movement and began writing songs in earnest.

Maia’s 1970 debut LP has been called “a massive cannonball into the pool” of Brazilian culture, the ripples of which are still visible today. The album linked Brazilian pop music and American soul in a way that was genuinely new, and it spent 24 weeks on the charts. Other landmark recordings would follow, but in 1976, Maia joined the Racional Energy cult, at which point he shed his vices, dressed in white robes, and performed and recorded only for cult members. Maia would later distance himself from Racional Energy, but the mythos surrounding him only grew. He died, 55 years old and obese, after an onstage heart attack in 1998.

07 Do Leme Ao Pontal -- Tim Maia

Em 2007, Wado, Alvinho Cabral, Marcelo Frota, Adriano Siri, Alvinho Lancellotti, Daniel Medeiros e Marcus Coruja reuniram a singularidade de seus sons e personalidades numa mistura inusitada. E não é que a mistura deu certo? É essa identidade do Fino Coletivo que atrai uma plateia jovem e fiel, que se amplia a cada apresentação da banda. O Fino retribui com sambas, suíngues, loops, levadas, poemas, charme e simpatia, e já coleciona hits e fãs antes mesmo do lançamento do CD. Som e empatia estão ambos muito bem traduzidos no disco de estreia do grupo, onde seus integrantes se revezam nos vocais e viajam em arranjos que se somam, com originalidade, sabedoria e muito bom gosto. As composições são todas próprias ou em parceria com Domenico Lancellotti - que também participa do CD -, Ivor Lancellotti e Totonho, dos Cabra. Coloridos poemas musicais, contemporaneamente naïf, que falam do amor, da existência ou da alegria de viver.﻿
