Reissue of the 1977 album from Brazilian funk band Banda Black Rio, pressed on 180 gram vinyl.
An excellent album by one of the greatest Brazilian funk bands ever a wonderful blend of funk, jazz, and soul and a set that rivals any of the best work coming from the US at the time! These guys are right on the money right from the start moving through sharp changes with effortless ease, yet never in a way that's too slick or commercial kind of like that perfect balance that Kool & The Gang hit for just a few records in the mid 70s but with more of a Brazilian feel overall. Jazzy licks abound and the keyboards, guitar, and horns are just great but the set's also got some more regional percussion, too which really rounds out the record wonderfully. The grooves all have a really universal appeal essential for any fan of funky sounds and titles include "Mr Funky Samba", "Junia", "Casa Forte", "Na Baixa Do Sapateiro", "Lelbon Via Vaz Lobo", "Baia", "Maria Fumaca", and "Metalurgia".
