Following in the footsteps of heroes like Azymuth, Antonio Adolfo, Cesar Mariano, and Marcos Resende, with the tried and tested trifecta of synthesizers, bass and drums, Caixa Cubo have carved out their own idiosyncratic ideal of golden-era Brazilian jazz-funk and samba-jazz. Encapsulating the vitality and experimentalism synonymous with Sao Paulo's musical history, Caixa Cubo playfully straddle the elegant and the surreal, with masterful songwriting and the consummate musicianship of longtime friends and bandmates Henrique Gomide (keyboards), Noa Stroeter (bass), and João Fideles (drums). Caixa Cubo have been playing together for over 14 years -- and that's \"playing\" in the truest sense of the word. As bassist Noa Stroeter explains: \"A story, a joke, images, invented words, people we met on tour, places, fictitious or not, have always been part of our creative process. And they are precious materials beyond the musical work itself. This dynamic has stayed with us to this day, and for me it is the characteristic that guarantees that no matter what, we will have fun working.\" Presenting a contemporary reimagining of Brazilian grooves from the 1970s, Modo Avião marks an evolution for Caixa Cubo's music which delves deeper into the tradition of Brazilian instrumental music, while continuing to develop its rhythmic and harmonic possibilities. Utilizing an extensive understanding of Brazilian music history and Brazilian rhythm in particular, the group explore the seemingly endless possibilities of fusing carnival marches, frevo and Baião, with jazz, MPB and funk.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"far out","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945994514626,"sku":"faro247","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8351\/3794\/files\/caixacubomodo.jpg?v=1739888467"},{"product_id":"los-africanos-together-people-pamoja-watu-7-vampisoul","title":"los africanos-together people (pamoja watu) 7","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst time 7\" reissue of this mega-rare Bobby Marin produced Latin funk gem. \"Together People (Pamoja Watu)\" sounds like a cross between James Brown's \"It's A New Day\" and Manu Dibango's \"Soul Makossa,\" while \"It's Your Thing\" is a heavy Latin funk instrumental version of the Isley Brothers classic, featuring screaming Hammond organ.

The highly anticipated follow up to Arthur's eponymous debut album from 1972, Encore saw Arthur joining the dots over 35 years to create a modern classic of Brazilian music that, like his debut, combined Brazilian influences with his take on American soul and cinematic experimentation, and shows Arthur's sound is as poignant now as it ever was. In the mid-2000's, following on from Marcos Valle, Joyce, and of course Azymuth, Arthur Verocai joined the long-line of Brazilian musicians whose music was to be introduced to a whole new legion of fans by Far Out. The story of Encore of course begins with Joe Davis, Far Out's head honcho who stumbled upon Arthur's debut in a dusty record store in downtown Rio in the late '80s. At the time of its release in 1972 critics panned Arthur's debut and both the album and artist subsequently vanished into obscurity. Fast forward to winter 2004 and Joe's at the studio of Far Out Recording artists Harmonic 313 -- aka production duo Mark 'Troubleman' Pritchard and Dave Brinkworth -- playing them some of his favorite Brazilian albums. Three months later and Dave was in Brazil with Arthur Verocai, and the plans for what was to become Encore were being laid down. Produced by Dave, Encore sees Arthur on incredible form, the 35 plus years between the recording of his debut and this the follow-up just melting away as Arthur picked up the (conductor's) baton once again to create 11 epic tracks of stirring samba-soul and experimental cinematic movements that sees him creating a record to rival his debut. Born in Rio de Janeiro on 17 June 1945, Arthur Verocai began his professional music career in 1969 and over the next few years he was responsible for the orchestration of albums by Ivan Lins, Jorge Benjor, Elizeth Cardoso, Gal Costa, Quarteto em Cy, MPB 4, and Marcos Valle, among others. In 1972, following the success Arthur had with the production of Ivan Lins 1971 album Agora, Arthur recorded his self-titled debut album on Continental Records. Arthur Verocai challenged the musical conventions of the day, combining Brazilian influences with folksy soul and lo-fi electronic experimentations of American artists like Shuggie Otis or the orchestration of producer Charles Stepney.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r_Zi84VTiS4?si=PCDwMnVuJRB5e34g\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"far out","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45012358594754,"sku":"faro122xx","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8351\/3794\/files\/arthurverocaiencore.jpg?v=1742562538"},{"product_id":"los-piranas-una-oportunidad-mas-de-triunfar-en-la-vida-lp","title":"los pirañas-una oportunidad mas de triunfar en la vida lp","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis album title translates as \"One more chance to succeed in life.\" Not that they need it. The trio of guitarist Eblis Alvarez, bassist Mario Galeano, and drummer Pedro Ojeda has been successfully carving out a wildly idiosyncratic musical world since the release of their debut album in 2010, pushing the boundaries of instrumental Latin tropical music with bold infusions of psychedelia, dub, minimalism and more. But their journey started a long time before that. All three attended the same high school and have been playing together for three decades, since they were around 15 years old. \"We started with punk and heavy metal,\" Ojeda recalls. \"Then we were very interested in Colombian tropical music and traditional music from Colombia and Latin America, and that led us to focus on African music. It's been a long road.\" Along the way, the unfettered, spontaneous improvisation of jazz has been a crucial touchstone. \"When we started playing in an improvised setting, we were very influenced by free jazz from the '60s,\" says Ojeda. \"But now we are more into making music for the dance floor and music that has a beat and a strong feeling to dance to -- especially in this latest album.\" The music on Una Oportunidad stems from the venerable tradition of the groove-based jam session. \"All of the tunes 100% come from improvisation sessions,\" says Galeano. \"With this album,\" Ojeda elaborates, \"we went to the studio in the morning every day for a week. Each of us would bring one or two ideas and we would start jamming, experimenting with those ideas. By lunchtime, we had one or two pieces based on those ideas and then, after lunch, we would record them. By the end of the week, we had the eight tracks that are on the record.\" Recording for the first time in the relaxed surroundings of Galeano's studio, with Alvarez once again mixing and producing, Una Oportunidad luxuriates in a relaxed intimacy. And, more than any other album they've released so far, it captures the immediacy of a live performance, with no overdubs or studio magic, just raw, in-the-moment invention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ynpAZaigMzA?si=4EDQMN8T2eHsuNk-\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"glitterbeat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45037014810818,"sku":"gb167","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8351\/3794\/files\/lospiranasuna.jpg?v=1743706465"},{"product_id":"vaudou-game-raler-koliko-7","title":"vaudou game-raler \/ koliko 7","description":"\u003cp\u003eVaudou Game is back with a Funky Afro Cumbia 7\" release!

Santería draws heavily on music for its ceremonies. This Afro-Cuban syncretic religion, sometimes called La Regla de Ocha, saw the Orisha deities of the West African Yoruba peoples codified with Catholic saints. Yoruba practitioners, brought by force to the West, continued to worship their gods under the nose of those who sought to dehumanize them by adopting their spiritual language. The chants that became Santería's prayers were often accompanied by the beat of the batá drum. This heartbeat runs through every invocation, through every sacred song. In the same way that the shuffling chains on the feet of enslaved African peoples dancing defiantly in Colombia birthed the distinctive rhythm of cumbia, syncretism has been present in music as much as it has in religion. It has always been about challenging the odds, about creation, creativity, and heart. This is why Italian musician Walter Zanetti's guitar pierces straight to the soul on his Cantos Yoruba de Cuba.

When he returned almost a year later, he discovered that the village headman and his sons had used the equipment to record 12 hours of tape documenting a bewildering array of local narrative and musical genres -- sacred chants, place-names, spirit languages, and, as featured here, the astonishing and mesmerizing sounds of trumpet and flute ensembles. Recorded in a wide range of settings -- during all-night sessions in and around the village, while paddling on the river by canoe, and at various locations deep in the surrounding forest, including the mythical homes of the ancestors and animal spirits, these tapes are not only a stunning artifact of indigenous ethnomusicology, they also reveal the deep connection between sound and the shape-shifting animism of Wakuénai (Curripaco) society. As you will hear here, the music of Wakuénai (Curripaco) wind ensembles range from the deep bass drone of handmade trumpets to the high-pitched dissonance of various flutes. Sometimes the trumpets and flutes produce distinct rhythmic and melodic patterns associated with animal species, ancestors, and spirits -- the hissing sound of jaguars; the low-frequency sounds of the river filled with spawning fish; or the \"voices\" of birds, frogs, and spirit animals. At other times, they are played together to produce cacophonies representing the undifferentiated chaos of primordial space-time -- \"the [cosmic] sound that opened the world\" associated with the mythic trickster-creator. The anthropologist in this story was Jonathan Hill (1954-2023), who spent many years studying the music and culture of the Amazonian lowlands. This LP is dedicated to him and his legacy. The first two recordings here were made by Jonathan and feature catfish trumpets and ceremonial flutes performed during ceremonial exchange (pudáli) at Gavilán, Río Guainía, Venezuela, October 24, 1981. The remaining tracks were recorded by Feliz López de Oliveiros and focus on the trumpet and flute ensembles performed during a rite of passage in a remote village along the Tomo River, Colombia, 1985.

Through their performance, they explore their tonal possibilities, the interaction between their frequencies, and their ability to generate new dialogues. The work of Pacha Wakay Munan aligns with the tradition of sound explorers such as the Peruvians Arturo Ruiz del Pozo and Luis David Aguilar or the Colombians Yaki Kandru. The album's repertoire consists of pieces that explore diverse sonorities and musical concepts. \"Pacha Wakay Munanqa\" introduces the timbral variety of the instruments used. \"El Taki Onkoy\" draws inspiration from historical accounts and the meaning of its name (\"Sick Song\"), based on a Culina chant documented by Rodolfo Holzmann. It features vocals by the experienced singer Ximena Menéndez. \"Mundo Posible\" is a reinterpretation of an improvisation session with musicologist Chalena Vásquez Rodríguez, where the piano dialogues with ceramic antaras. Other pieces delve into the sonic construction of these instruments in relation to their cultural contexts. \"Machu Tara\" explores the concept of tara, a rough and vibrant sound quality found in certain Andean musical traditions. \"Túpac Huaca\" references the Huaca Aliaga in Lima, creating a sound palette where pututos, whistling vessels, and quenas converge. \"Agua, Cuarzo y Viento\" introduces quartz sikus and bowls tuned to different frequencies, evoking the interaction between natural elements and resonant vibrations. In the piece \"Qinray Tema\", Camilo Ángeles plays the metal transverse flute, creating a contrast with the pre-Hispanic ceramic flutes and pelican bone flutes.

Produced by Romeo Nunes (Meirelles e Os Copa 5, Rio 65 Trio, Elis Regina, Elza Soares), the album features the pioneering Edison Machado, who transformed samba and was instrumental in the development of Bossa Nova through his groundbreaking \"samba no prato\" (samba on the cymbals) technique. His work helped shape the sounds of Jobim, Getz, and Milton Nascimento. On guitar is the legendary Neco, who played on over 500 albums. Initially self-taught, he later studied under maestros Guerra Peixe and Moacir Santos. He collaborated with icons like Elis Regina and Chico Buarque, and was a member of Os Ipanemas, Os Catedráticos, and Os Gatos. His solo work includes Velvet Bossa Nova (1966), which became an acid jazz favorite. The album features compositions by Caetano Veloso and Marcos Valle, alongside early samba classics. Blending Brazilian rhythms with elements of samba, bossa nova, and jazz fusion, it captures the early development of Tania Maria's signature style. Born in São Luís, Brazil in 1948, Tania Maria began playing piano at age seven. She learned samba, jazz, and chorinho through her father's weekend jam sessions.

Drawing on Moroccan Gnawa, Colombian cumbia, Afrobeat, Jamaica dub and roots, and cosmic jazz, the six-piece ensemble create deep, hypnotic music rooted in global traditions and shaped for contemporary. Having already captivated local audiences with their hypnotic, organic live performances, La Chooma -- now a six-piece ensemble -- have been steadily building an international following. Initial singles \"Magic Plant\" and \"Huachuma\" earned support from tastemakers including BBC Radio 6 Music's Deb Grant and Tom Ravenscroft. \"Magic Plant\" distills the band's signature blend of hypnotic grooves, lush percussion and woozy synths, like Jimi Tenor lost in the Colombian Amazon. A dreamlike, dub-infused trip driven by organic rhythm and cosmic textures. \"Huachuma\" picks up the thread, fusing Afrobeat percussion, swirling basslines and psychedelic flourishes into a hallucinogenic jam made for a tropical dancefloor. \"High Grow\" conjures images of The X-Files set in Addis Ababa, with Ethiojazz-style synths dancing and tripping across a relentless Mulatu-inspired bassline and Afrobeat drums, all drenched in foreboding dub delay. Perfect for dark, smoke-filled rooms in the small hours. Like the lost child of Idris Ackamoor \u0026amp; The Pyramids and The Comet Is Coming, \"Lonely\" hits like a sledgehammer of cosmic synth funk and intense Afrorock drums, riding an acoustic bassline that breaks into a frenetic solo after a minute. The drums constantly threaten to overwhelm, but open up for the spiraling synths to peak half way through the track. \"Cozumel\" follows seamlessly, moving to a slightly slower groove built on a deep electric bassline and irresistible four-to-the-floor Afro-Latin rhythms. Synths rise in harmony with the haunting call of the hand-carved Egyptian kawala flute as the energy builds in the third minute before the tension finally releases. There's something in the music's spiritual core and soulful presence that recalls the groundbreaking work of Jamaican legends Count Ossie and Cedric Brooks, who fused jazz with Rastafari drumming.

Whether originating from the city or being more rural, they all go back to what Edouard Glissant, in an interview about the place of West Indian music in the Afro-American scope, called \"the trace of singing, the one which got erased by slavery.\" The opening track features one of the emblematic orchestras of this aesthetic identity, criscrossing many music types from the archipelago. The 1974 Ray Barretto guajira is magnificently performed by Malavoi, a legendary Fayolais group. Additionally, the compilation ends on a piece by Los Martiniqueños de Francisco. Practicing the danmyé rounds (a kind of capoeiria) to the rhythm of the bèlè drum, it delivers a terrific Caterete, a kind of champeta of Afro- Colombian obedience which was originally composed by Colombian Fabián Ramón Veloz Fernández for the group Wgenda Kenya. The icing on the cake is Brazilian Marku Ribas, who found refuge in Martinique in the early 1970s, bringing his singing to the last trance-inducing track. The Los Caraïbes cover of \"Dónde,\" a famous Cuban theme composed by producer Ernesto Duarte Brito, has a typical violin and features renowned Martinique singer Joby Valente and his piquant voice. The meaningful \"Amor en chachachá\" by L'Ensemble Tropicana, a band which included Haitian musicians among whom was composer and leader Michel Desgrotte, also recalls how Latin music was pervasive in the tropics in the mid-1960s. They were the ones keeping people dancing at Le Cocoteraie in Guadelupe and La Bananeraie in Martinique. Around the same time, another \"foreign\" band, Congolese Freddy Mars N'Kounkou's Ryco Jazz, achieved some success on both islands by covering Latin jazz classics. In a more typically salsa vein, the Super Combo, a famous Guadelupean orchestra from Pointe-Noire that was formed around the Desplan family and had Roger Plonquitte and Elie Bianay on board, adapt \"Serana,\" a theme by Roberto Angleró Pepín. Léon Bertide's Martinican ensemble excelled at the boogaloo which had been composed by Puerto Rican saxophonist Hector Santos for the legendary El Gran Combo. Three years later, in 1972, Henri Guédon, with the help of Paul Rosine on the vibraphone, tackled the Bilongo made famous by Eddie Palmieri. On the high-value collectible single -- the first one released by Les Aiglons under the Duli Disc label -- there is a sticker classifying the track under the generic name \"Afro.\" Digipack CD includes 20-page booklet, and liners notes in French, Spanish, English.

The unique Amazonian sound blended fast, percussive cumbia rhythms with electric guitars in a surf style -- a distinctive fusion that came to define Peruvian-recorded cumbia, markedly different from the traditional cumbia styles that developed in other cumbia-producing countries like Colombia. The album includes their psychedelic rock hit \"Cuarto Oscuro,\" a highly sought-after track not only by cumbia collectors but also by garage and psychedelic DJs. This song also marked the beginning of their recording career in 1973. This compilation is a joint release with the Peruvian label Rey Record and comes with an insert featuring never- before-seen photos of the band, as well as liner notes by genre expert Víctor Zela (the mind behind the prestigious project La Cumbia de mis Viejos).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sgEibMg-nAM?si=MSON4QfrZ6UkET-O\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"vampisoul \/ rey record","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651503349954,"sku":"vampi325 \/ reylp-005","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8351\/3794\/files\/loszherospsychedeliccumbiaparty.jpg?v=1759602496"},{"product_id":"ranil-y-su-conjunto-tropical-sonido-amazonico-lp","title":"ranil y su conjunto tropical-sonido amazónico lp","description":"\u003cp\u003eRanil is undoubtedly the most unconventional figure among the greats of Amazonian cumbia, earning a well-deserved place alongside all the better-known iconic bands. He worked as a teacher, criollo guitarist, radio host, TV entrepreneur, and politician, but gained lasting fame as the founder of Ranil y Su Conjunto Tropical in the 1970s. By 1968, around the same time Los Destellos were making waves in Lima, groups like Los Wembler's de Iquitos and Juaneco y su Combo began electrifying cumbia in Iquitos. This new genre, dubbed Amazonian cumbia, exploded nationwide in 1973, thanks to hits by Juaneco y su Combo, Los Mirlos, and Los Wembler's. The success these bands achieved spawned dozens of other groups from the Amazon. Ranil, always a visionary, recognized the movement's potential and joined forces through his first single recorded on the Dinsa label in 1974. Unhappy with the contractual terms, he went on to found Producciones Llerena, the label on which he would release the rest of his discography. Over the years, Ranil y su Conjunto Tropical featured guitarists like Límber Zumba and Luis Nigro, while Ranil remained the lead vocalist and bassist for group. Zumba and Nigro had already played with other regional bands and written songs for groups like Los Destellos and Los Mirlos. This compilation offers a glimpse into the vast musical output Ranil created in the late 1970s and early 1980s, bringing together 14 tracks from the band's ten LPs. These records have always been hard to come by as, despite being recorded in Lima, they were distributed by Ranil from Iquitos. Psychedelia, rock fusion, cumbia, salsa, mambo, Amazonian folk -- you'll find all these flavors blended into the vibrant, jungle-rich sound Ranil crafted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ykMisEk8Y9M?si=4lbeTF3boTDvCjv1\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"vampisoul","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651504529602,"sku":"vampi328","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8351\/3794\/files\/ranilysuconjuntotropicalsonidoamazonico.jpg?v=1759602772"},{"product_id":"trio-ternura-a-gira-7","title":"trio ternura-a gira 7","description":"\u003cp\u003eA longtime favorite among Brazilian music collectors!

The mythology surrounding it suggests an ancient past when Amerindian, African and European musical sounds were mixed together. After digging deep into the overwhelming archives of Discos Fuentes, Codiscos and Discos MAG in previous volumes, this fourth instalment in the series Cumbia Cumbia Cumbia!!! comprises 28 Colombian cumbia bangers for the dance floor from the deep vaults of Discos Tropical, all of them originally released between 1960 and 1984. Discos Tropical was a Barranquilla-based label founded in the mid-1940s by Luis Emilio Fortou Pereira, a visionary who helped define Colombian dancing habits and tastes from the previous century. Until the late '50s, most cumbias were orchestral-based. However, even though formats and styles diversified from the following decade onward, these highly popular big bands spectacularly defined the sound of Discos Tropical and livened up the most cosmopolitan dances in the major coastal cities. After the mid-'60s, the big bands gradually fell into decline, but the popular demand for tropical music did not. Facing this situation, the major record companies created smaller-format groups with one particular feature: they mixed accordion music with brass bands. This new volume of Cumbia Cumbia Cumbia!!! combines well-known classics and rarities that are difficult to find in their original formats. An invitation to enjoy and be amazed, above and beyond ethnographic and academic concerns.

Coming right after the genre-shaking Tropicália ou Panis et Circencis, this LP captures a moment when Brazilian music was breaking rules, blending psychedelia, rock, samba, and poetic experimentation into something totally new. Gal's voice is the real star here: warm, fearless, and incredibly expressive. She moves effortlessly from soft, intimate moments to explosive, full-throttle performances, always sounding confident and emotionally present. Backed by adventurous arrangements and songs from key Tropicalia figures like Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, the album feels both playful and politically charged, even when it's being subtle. Several tracks stand out as absolute classics. \"Baby\" is a highlight right away -- cool, tender, and deceptively simple, with Gal delivering Caetano Veloso's lyrics in a way that feels both innocent and quietly radical. On the other end of the spectrum, \"Divino, Maravilhoso\" is pure intensity: urgent, raw, and electrifying, capturing the restless spirit of the era and showcasing Gal's power at full blast. \"Não Identificado\" leans into dreamy psychedelia, floating between romance and cosmic imagery, while \"Que Pena\" shows her knack for turning heartbreak into something irresistibly melodic and catchy. What makes this record special is its balance. It's experimental without being alienating, sophisticated without losing its groove. Tracks flow naturally, pulling you into a colorful, slightly rebellious world that reflects the cultural tension and creativity of late-'60s Brazil.

His few recordings carried a remarkable stylistic range, making it difficult to put him into any single category -- a quality that led to a style he himself called vasquesón. In the early seventies, he released through Discos Fuentes a single that would become one of the anthems of the Barranquilla Carnival: \"Pica pica en carnaval,\" a tropical, electrifying gem with a guarachero flow so unmistakable that it's still a staple in verbenas, neighborhood dances, and picó parties today.

Check the frisky percussion and euphoric vocals of 'Pueblo', the scratchy guitar and bustling funk of 'Bahia' or the lilting 'Albores De Mi Selva' for proof of just how irresisitble it still sounds today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?si=WU9KEuzirlu0p0Ox\u0026amp;list=PLjfHkXa2IYghv8V44RcR3k1k-7UohnNiH\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"analog africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47241904619714,"sku":"aalp103","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8351\/3794\/files\/ranilysuconjuntotropicalgalaxiatropical.jpg?v=1773168087"},{"product_id":"roberto-y-su-nuevo-montuno-el-nuevo-montuno-llego-lp","title":"roberto y su nuevo montuno-el nuevo montuno llegó lp","description":"\u003cp\u003eRoberto y su Nuevo Montuno recorded their first album, El Nuevo Montuno Llegó (1970), when Roberto Berríos was just 22 years old. This was also the debut release on Haddock's own Uniart label. Berríos remembers that they did the recording in two sessions, splitting it up into four tracks per visit. The engineer was the famed Pedro \"Pedrito\" Henríquez, who recorded El Gran Combo, Roberto Roena and many others. The band had a mix of tasty, powerful originals, from Tony Cintrón's title track that announced the band had arrived, \"El Nuevo Montuno Llegó,\" to Quique Dávila's mournful \"Triste Arrabal.\" Then there was the hit Santería themed tune, \"Llamé a Changó,\" which was a song that Quique Dávila brought to the band, but had been originally composed by Carlos Pinto, though Quique was given the credit. Dávila also composed \"Me Queda Un Guaguancó,\" which is Roberto's favorite song on the record (as well as a fan favorite), with Papo sounding like his friend Héctor Lavoe, and Quique Dávila's proud manifesto declaring that Puerto Rico now had its own son montuno, \"Oye Tu Son, Borinquen,\" featuring the pianist's tasty but brief solo. The cover versions came from the group's earliest period when most of their repertoire consisted of renditions of beloved but lesser known tunes, and include Louie Ramírez's \"Balancéate\" (a favorite of Roberto's from Ray Barretto's songbook), Bobby Valentín's \"Monina y Ramón\" (recorded during his stint with Willie Rosario), and a bolero indelibly sung by Cheo Feliciano when he was with the Joe Cuba Sextet, \"Dichoso,\" written by Joe Cuba's talented pianist, Nick Jiménez. Some of the arranging was done by Cintrón and some by Dávila, though Quique had some help from his old friend from El Combo Moderno, Freddie Miranda, who at that time was with Roberto Roena's Apollo Sound. Roberto says that the arrangements of the cover tunes were made specifically to be different and more contemporary sounding than the originals. El Nuevo Montuno Llegó has become a legendary salsa dura classic from Puerto Rico and Vampisoul are thrilled to present this first legitimately licensed and remastered vinyl reissue. It includes detailed liner notes that reveal the untold story of the band and their debut album, and rare photos.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vampisoul","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47283503694018,"sku":"vampi347","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8351\/3794\/files\/robertoysunuevomontunoelnuevomontunollego.jpg?v=1774019741"},{"product_id":"los-felcas-sabor-a-felcas-lp","title":"los felcas-sabor a felcas lp","description":"\u003cp\u003eLos Felcas were one of the best bands to come out of Peru during the golden years of the cumbia and tropical sounds explosion. In Lima, founding member, guitarist Florentino \"Tino\" León, quickly joined the Peruvian cumbia tropical movement led by electric guitarists Enrique Delgado (Los Destellos) and Berardo Hernández \"Manzanita.\". This new style was soon practiced by other groups from Lima, such as Los Ecos, Los Beta 5, Los Diablos Rojos, and, a bit later, by bands from the rest of the country. This movement became a massive phenomenon. Nelson Ferreyra and the multifaceted singer Pablo Villanueva Branda \"Melcochita\", who had become fans, introduced them to the MAG record label. In mid-1973, they recorded their first 45 RPM singles, with \"Sabor a Felcas\" being their most popular release. They recorded several albums during the late '70s and '80s, mostly on MAG: \"La Blanquiñosa,\" \"Tu bello cuerpo,\" \"La cusqueñita\" and \"Manzanita coloradita.\" In the early 1990s, chicha music became popular in Argentina, especially in the north, where \"Boquita perfumada\" by Los Felcas was a hit. This compilation brings together their finest recordings, taking from albums and obscure 45s, blending a wide range of influences -- from psychedelic vibes to rhythms closer to guaracha and chicha -- and now being reissued for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vampisoul","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47359825772738,"sku":"vampi348","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8351\/3794\/files\/losfelcassaborafelcas.jpg?v=1775506616"},{"product_id":"jorge-ben-s-t-1969-lp","title":"jorge ben-s\/t (1969) lp","description":"\u003cp\u003eJorge Ben is someone who needs no introduction. Since his first hits in the early '60s, this the greatest icons of the greatest icons of Brazilian pop music. His anthems \"Mais Que Nada\" or \"Pais Tropical\" are among two of the most ever listened Brazilian songs of all time. Ben's self-titled 1969 album is a true samba-soul masterpiece from one of Brazil's most creative voices. This isn't your typical late-'60s LP: Jorge Ben blends the hypnotic swing of samba with funk, psychedelia, and sun-soaked soul in a way that feels both classic and ahead of its time. Released in November 1969, this was Jorge Ben's sixth studio record, and his first back with the Philips label after a creative hiatus. He recorded it with the tight-knit, percussive groove of Trio Mocotó -- whose rhythms lock in beautifully with Ben's laid-back guitar and vocals. On top of that, the album features lush orchestral arrangements from José Briamonte and Rogério Duprat, adding a soaring, psychedelic dimension to Ben's sound. Standout tracks? You've got the joyous anthem \"País Tropical,\" a perfect celebration of Brazilian life. Then there's \"Take It Easy My Brother Charles,\" a socially conscious number that tells the story of a rebellious sailor -- Ben weaves in themes of race, identity, and resilience. And songs like \"Que Pena\" bring in that sweet, soulful melancholy, while breezy cuts like \"Criola,\" \"Domingas,\" and \"Barbarella\" highlight his playful, poetic side. This record is a rare blend of genres -- samba, soul, funk, psychedelia -- and it's got a timeless energy. Whether you're already into Brazilian music or just looking for something fresh and soulful, Jorge Ben's 1969 album is a joyous entry point.

Whether your taste leans toward bossa jazz, samba, psychedelic folk, or modern soul, Valle has surely recorded a great album for you. By the late 1960s he had already released enough outstanding records to secure a place among the greatest Brazilian artists of all time, but fortunately his career didn't stop there. He has continued recording fabulous albums over the following decades, right up to the present day. This second album by Marcos Valle (1965) is one of the foundational works of bossa nova. In fact, the record includes one of the most widely heard and covered Brazilian songs in history: \"Samba de Verão.\" In addition to his work as a composer -- alongside his brother Paulo Sergio -- Marcos Valle also begins to reveal himself here as a great singer, with a soft, almost fragile voice, while his acoustic guitar recreates the same intimacy of the nighttime atmosphere in which he composed most of the songs. The arrangements were co-written with Eumir Deodato, with the participation of other renowned Brazilian musicians, and they surround Valle's compositions with elegant string orchestrations, bossa rhythms, and jazzy touches of swing. Highlights include the sophisticated beauty of songs like \"Preciso Aprender a Ser Só,\" the rhythmic 3\/4 feel of tracks such as \"Seu Encanto,\" and the powerful \"Deus Brasileiro.\" First vinyl reissue in over 50 years!
