Os Brazões - Os Brazões [2006 Remaster] (1969)
Celebrating its 35 years, Som Livre goes through its huge patrimony and rescues 25 "jewels", which represent great moments of its history, as well as the history of the labels Som Maior, RGE, and Fermata. The series Som Livre Masters recovers rare original LPs and releases them as CDs for the first time. They are real collector's items, classics of bossa nova, samba, jazz, mpb, funk and pop which had a decisive impact on Brazilian popular music of the 60s, 70s and 80s.
These guys mix together a bit of funk, a bit of psych, and touches of Jorge Ben-like soul -- into a blend that's really groovy all the way through, and which will be sure to please any fan of the samba soul groove! Jorge Ben's influence is all over the set -- filtered through some garagey production that makes the tracks sound rawer than any of Ben's own work, and which give the guitars a nice fuzzed out edge. The whole thing's almost psychedelic at times, but has a fair bit of soul as well -- and titles include "Gotham City", "Que Maravilha", "Carolina, Carol Bela", "Modulo Lunar", "Volkswagen Blue", "Feitico", "Espiral", and "Momento B/8".
