New Brazil 45’s 58, 59 and 60

Mr Bongo’s drop three new Brazil 45’s.

‘Golden era’ Brazilian music, recorded between the late 1960’s and early 1980’s, mastered and cut loud at 45rpm on 7″ vinyl, packaged in lovingly produced Brazil 45 house bags.

The imprint features rare and sought after tracks previously unreleased as singles or only available on quieter – and more often than not, expensive – LP pressings. Finding these tracks in good condition at a fair price is extremely difficult, as anyone who has searched for them will know.

BRZ45.058 –– Ana Maria e Maurício – Figa de Guiné / Novos Baianos
BRZ45.059 –– Antonio Carlos & Jocafi – Simbarerê / Kabaluere
BRZ45.060 –– Quinteto Ternura – Baby / Trio Ternura – Filhos De Zambi

SPARKY – NACHTISCH

“We are all just zombies” , Sparky notes, referring to the inclination of his peers to early retirement. The Cologne rapper from the Sektorwestbüdchengang speaks for all “city kids”, which was more promised than a brown combi, a freshly painted carport and a front yard with accurately cut hedges. His debut album is somewhere between the tough syrup-hop of DJ Screw and current old-rap approaches from Odd Future over Grimes to Ratking. Producer Yourz mixes UK basses, 808 drums, and melancholic melodies into an individual cocktail that transcends helpless fantasy terms such as “Cloudrap”.
