Brazilian favourates....

[tdlt02]

Hi,

I would be interested to know from those of you that like Brazilian music what are your three favourite tracks, or LPs?  I was prompted to start this topic from a suggestion from Hadrian Elephant on a earlier thread, thanks very much...

Both the Gal Costa S/T lps. Anything by Os Mutantes. And Ive heard bits of the 'Miguel De Deus' lp and loved it.

[Rich Hero]

My knowledge of Brazilian music is very limited (so welcome Mark&#33 and I could probably count the number of records in my possesion on one hand, but these three are my faves...

Emilio Santiago S/T
Papete 'Berimbau E Percussao'
Baden Powell 'Tristeza On Guitar'

[sermad]

Some Azymuth bits are great too. Didn't they do an OST?

It is impossible for me to list my three favourite Brazilian tunes or LPs, it is always changing.

I can list the three I recently listened to. All top quailty stuff:

"Cala Boca Menino" Nana Caymmi - great version of the Donato killer

"Nao Vou Choarar" Os Diagonais  - killer funk (track 2 Sermad) or "bad totp style JB funk" (ladyboygrimsby)

"O Tempo Que Tempo Tem" Eduardo & Silvano - pysch funk rock

[LDJB]

I know nowt about Brazilian stuff but here's three I like:

Gal Costa - Tuareg
Os Mutantes - Baby
Os Mutantes - Bat Macuda

[pokester]

there's so much different sort of stuff

milton banana
copa 7
braziian octopus
quem e quem (donato)
meirelles
vitor assis brasil
ed lincoln
som 3
.....

[Belson]

Top three tracks would be something like,

Milton Banana Trio - Primitivo

Cesar Mariano - Fabrica (Even though Harris Simon's take of it 'Factory' is rather nice)

Som Tres - Homenagem A Mongo

Other stuff that tickles the taste buds though is of course Elsa Soarez, Joyce, Quarteto Nova, Clare Fischer, Dom Um, Melvin Price etc.

[MoogMan]

Hi

It´s very hard to choose only 3 tunes; among lots of nice tracks, my faves are:

João Donato: Cala a boca, menino
Marcos Valle: Mentira
Eduardo Araujo: A mulher (Brown´s Cold sweat cover)
Elza Soares: Saltei de banda
Gal: Deus é o amor

[Si Cheeba]

Just a few weeks ago (when it was hot here&#33 I put a home-comp CD together of the funkier early 70s brazil stuff "...that I was feelin" .

I think most of the bits were off those re-issues of the LPs that came out around 93/94...but I've bought a small amount of originals over the years. That "sound" is great - but I'd like to get more recommendations to buy more - cos searching "blind" can be a minefield. So, Mark GV (I recognise that name over the years) - welcome aboard the V V train sir and over to you!

Off the top of my head stuff like: Marcos Valle/Azimuth/Antonio Carlos&Jocafi/Wilson Das Neves/Meireles...I'll stick a tracklisting up tomorrow

[ladyboygrimsby]

Track 13
Track 17
Track 23
Track 25 (ask Left Hand Corner for further details since I haven't got a Scooby)

Then...
Azymuth - Young Embrace
Tim Maia - All I Want

There's a really good track on the new Azymuth LP as well called, I think, O Chant.

[left hand corner]

Really must send you a tracklist.

[sermad]

bugger I didnt get the cd off you either! I promised it to this girl who speaks portugeuse...

[tdlt02]

Wow,

Such a quick reaction already. I'm a bit caught up at work at the moment, but will reply to some of the questions asked so far later on tonight. Good reaction so far....
