Blending lo-fi, Brazilian tropicalia, jazz, funk and MPB with a unique aroma, this record is \u003cstrong\u003epure perfection\u003c\/strong\u003e.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eIt was originally released in 1978 on Erla - Estudio Rauland, an obscure record label from Bel\\xe9m in Brazil, that only released 7' singles, with this album being one of two exceptions. During the 1970s, Bel\\xe9m had a thriving nightclub scene, but it is thousands of miles away from the music industry hubs of Rio de Janeiro and S\\xe3o Paulo, making this record insanely \u003cstrong\u003edifficult to find\u003c\/strong\u003e, even in Brazil. Added to the scarcity factor is the magical nature of the recording, which has naturally resulted in a hefty price tag to match. Original copies have become a \u003cstrong\u003eprized, collector's item\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe elusive Brazilian band leader and keyboard player, Guilherme Coutinho is \u003cstrong\u003ea true cult artist\u003c\/strong\u003e. He passed away in 1983, at the age of just 41, and during his career he only seems to have appeared on a handful of marvellous records, which makes them all the more special. This album feels individualistic and distinctive from other albums of the day. Listening back to vocalist Elinho's (aka H\\xe9lio Rubens de Oliveira) delivery, it sounds not too dissimilar to some of \u003cstrong\u003eBelle \u0026amp; Sebastian\u003c\/strong\u003e's songs. 'Guilherme Coutinho E O Grupo Stalo' is rich in charm, quirky and playful. It feels cinematic, soothing and benefits from being heard in its entirety. \u003cstrong\u003eA proper album experience\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cp\u003eAtalaia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Feras\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFoicera\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRio Corrente\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMacareu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFuga\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlauta De Bambu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTema Pro Alvarito\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54422454796673,"sku":"1838411","price":15.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/7119691289120.jpg?v=1750681200","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1838411","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
