Description
Brazil 45シリーズの人気タイトルから厳選し、待望のリプレス。
A面には、ブラジルの作曲家／プロデューサーNonato Buzarによる『Cafua』を収録。Evinha、Elis Regina、Wilson Das Neves、さらにJimmy Cliffとも共演した彼の作品の中でも、特に強力な一曲。オルガンが唸り、ホーンが鮮やかに響くグルーヴィーなサウンドは、1975年のアルバム『O Som E O Balanço De Nonato』に収められていたもの。陽気でエネルギッシュなブラジリアン・ファンクの魅力が詰まっている。
B面にはJosé Roberto（Zé Roberto）の『Crioula Multicolorida』を収録。彼の代表曲『Lotus 72 D』ほどのレア度はないが、それでも入手困難な名曲。軽快なリズムとキャッチーなメロディが印象的なサンバ・ロックで、DJやコレクターの間でも評価が高い。『Via Brazil』や『Brazilian Beats Brooklyn』といったコンピにも収録されるなど、長年愛され続けている。
A1. Nonato & Seu Conjunto – Cafua
B1. José Roberto – Crioula Multicolorida
Brazil 45, number 74.
We’ve taken a selection of the most in-demand and asked-for titles in our Brazil 45’s catalogue and given them a loving repress.
The late composer, arranger, musician and record producer Nonato Buzar is a lesser-known great outside of Brazil. His legacy leaves behind a rich body of recordings, working with some of the cream of the Brazilian ‘60s and ‘70s music scene, including Evinha, Elis Regina, Wilson Das Neves as well as reggae legend Jimmy Cliff. The awesome organ driven dancer ‘Cafua’, with its zesty horns and sun-soaked vocal tones, is taken from Nonato & Seu Conjunto’s 1975 'O Som E O Balanço De Nonato’ album on Som records.
Most famed for his ultra rare 1973 track 'Lotus 72 D’, which Mr Bongo reissued in 2019, José Roberto aka Zé Roberto’s other 7 inch from the following year, also held a gem within its B side grooves. 'Crioula Multicolorida’, though not as scarce as ‘Lotus 72 D', is still a super hard record to track down and is equally as great. This anthemic ‘samba rock’ pearler, with its amazing breakdown and strutting groove, has long been a favourite amongst Brazilian DJs and collectors. The track also featured on the influential ‘Via Brazil’ compilation series and 'Brazilian Beats Brooklyn' collection on Mr Bongo.
