Duo Ouro Negro com Sivuca- Africanissimo (Columbia/EMI, Angola)


An upgrade for an all-time favorite! Duo Ouro Negro were an amazing popular harmony group formed out of 1950's Angola. Sivuca is the heavyweight Brazillian accordionist feautured prominently on side-A. Side B appears to have been cut at different sessions with other backing combos. You may have seen this record here or here before, but never at 320 kbps*. Big thanks to Dom for the rip and the scans. An essential.

*Side B is different here than on other versions I've had. While confusing, its hard to argue with the tracklist as shown on that great scan of the back cover.

Jorge Ben- Africa Brasil

I love this album. With all the attention paid to Jorge Ben on various (Excellent) Tropicalia compilations , I just don't understand why this album hasn't gotten the reissue love that it deserves. On Africa Brasil, Ben's sound has evolved into a driving brand of melodic but heavy hitting 70s Brazilian funk & soul. The result is simply dynamite.
