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 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.”
