It possesses that archetypal 60's bossa nova, jazz, samba sound. We'd place it up there with \u003cstrong\u003eSergio Mendes\u003c\/strong\u003e at his finest, \u003cstrong\u003eTambo Trio\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eMilton Banana\u003c\/strong\u003e. It's a breezy ride that touches on easy listening at times, but it holds it together with a cool swagger. Biba and Thais Do Amaral's vocals are on point, with a relaxed delivery that compliments the tracks with the sublime beauty a la vocal groups such as \u003cstrong\u003eQuarteto Em Cy\u003c\/strong\u003e, who Biba also sang with, as well as with \u003cstrong\u003eAntonio Adolfo\u003c\/strong\u003e's \u003cstrong\u003ee A Brazuca\u003c\/strong\u003e. Also appearing on the record is bassist extraordinaire, Novelli who worked with \u003cstrong\u003eMilton Nascimento\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eNelson Angelo E Joyce\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAirto\u003c\/strong\u003e, and many of the greats of Brazilian music of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album has long been a favourite with DJs and collectors over the years, with songs selected for compilations by \u003cstrong\u003eGilles Peterson\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eNicola Conte\u003c\/strong\u003e. One of the centrepieces of the album, 'Candomble', has been sampled by \u003cstrong\u003eCut Chemist\u003c\/strong\u003e on his track 'Povo De Santo'. The song 'Nana' is punchy and light with dancefloor-jazz appeal. The gloriously catchy 'Vem Balancar' is a brilliant bossa shuffler. A superb listen throughout, the album sticks to a framework but delivers in spades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough released on the major-label RCA Victor, original copies are elusive, sought-after items with a price tag to match. For this reissue, we have opted for the \u003cstrong\u003eMono master\u003c\/strong\u003e, mirroring the original 1967 Brazilian pressing. Instantly familiar, the album has a welcoming feeling of nostalgia and is something that stays with you from the first listen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCandomble\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYearning Lovers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNana\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDe Brincadeira\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBye Bye Blackbird\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eE Nada Mais\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep Talking\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVem Balancar\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce More\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMorte De Um Deus De Sal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTa Por Fora\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCorcovado\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54421389836673,"sku":"1908600","price":15.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/7119691291628.jpg?v=1750649703","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1908600","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
