Joao Donato
LUGAR COMUM
(1975) (REISSUE LP)
POLYSOM (BRAZIL) / 331511
12 Inch LP
(180gr) Reissue of this CLASSIC, highly sought after 1973 album from the great, Joao Donato!
A sweet electric 70s session from the mighty Joao Donato very different than his earlier bossa work of the 60s and with the same funky appeal as the best work on his classic Quem E Quem album! This set's got a tighter feel overall very much in a samba soul style, with lots of great Brazilian bits mixed up with funk and jazz touches including a range of great keyboards handled by Donato himself! Drums are by the mighty Wilson Das Neves who brings in some breaks at a few points and the whole thing's supremely soulful too with titles that include the funky classic "Bananeira", plus "Patumbalacunde", Lugar Comum, "Tudo Tem", and "Naturalmente".[info sheet from distr.]
