V.A. The Brasileiro Treasure Box Of Funk & Soul

Greg Caz and Deano Sounds have teamed up once again to bring you another fine package
of vintage Brazilian music. This one stretches across the scope of funk, soul, and psychedelic
music from Brazil. Some highlights include: the extremely rare and funky “Labirinto” by 2001
& Beto, the blistering psychedelic funk of Antônio Carlos & Jocafi’s “Quem Vem Lá,” the
essential rare groove track “Bananeira” by Emilio Santiago, Osmar Milito E Quarteto Forma’s
rare “América Latina” sampled by Madlib, Tom Zé’s unstoppable riff on “Jimmy, Renda-Se,”
and many others. Here are some words on the project from co-compiler and Brazilian music
aficionado, Greg Caz:
“Without necessarily having a central theme other than funky nuggets from the first half of the
70s, we believe this compilation displays its own particular sense of logic, and that these
songs ultimately all sound fantastic together. Regardless of one’s familiarity, or lack thereof,
with artists like Antonio Carlos & Jocafi, Os Incríveis, Toni Tornado or Celia, the material on
these 45s speaks its own truth and justifies their inclusion here. Many of these were originally
available as singles, while others were taken from albums, but all are guaranteed to find their
way into many DJ boxes and playlists.”
The 45 box set version comes in a durable glossy case with 7 x 45s, a poster containing the
original artwork for the album, a booklet filled with imagery from the original artists and
releases and liner notes by Greg Caz, the “Mad Scientist of Brazilian Beats.”
