It features two tracks from Roberto De Melo Santos. Born in 1949 in Recife (Brazil), and despite a small discography, he is considered among the true icons of Brazilian soul music under his artist alias, Di Melo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis self-titled debut album from 1975 has long been collectible for its irresistible Brazilian-funk sound, pleasing the Brazilian, B-Boy breaks, funk collectors, and sample hunters alike. With original copies for the album now fetching crazy sums, we felt these tracks needed another moment in the sun for all to enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor this release we selected two of our favourite cuts from this cult album, 'Kilario' and 'Pernalonga'. Coincidentally these two gems were released on Odeon Records in 1975 as a rare promo campacto (a Brazilian 7', which plays at 33rpm). 'Kilario' is a pure Brazilian-soul classic. All the right elements gel together, whilst Di Melo works his relaxed vocal magic over the top. 'Pernalonga', with its catchy guitar and horns intro, loose break-beat drum, has the feel-good factor which some may recognize as one of the samples behind N.A.S.A featuring David Byrne, \u0026amp; Chali 2na's 'The People Tree' from 2009.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDi Melo is still recording to this day, releasing an album with Cotonete oncFavorite Recordings in 2019 - a true don.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54419499221377,"sku":"2453497","price":26.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5024017003910.jpg?v=1750562459","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2453497","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
