Tema De Baby; A Festa

Description

Back in stock, the 33rd release in Mr Bongo’s Brazil 45 signature series offers an irresistible pairing of two gems of Brazilian music: the rare groove of Marcio Lott with Tema de Baby, and the samba-rock fusion flavors of Silvio Cesar with A Festa. These two tracks embody the sunny, festive essence of Brazil’s 1970s music scene. Tema de Baby by Marcio Lott is a true rarity, originally released in 1974 on the Tapecar label. This samba-rock track blends funk and MPB with jazz influences, combining groovy piano, Ramsey Lewis-style wah-wah guitars, and a mesmerizing vocal. As for A Festa by Silvio Cesar, taken from his 1977 album Som E Palavras, it is a classic rediscovered thanks to the Brazilian duo Beats Brooklyn. This jazzy samba-rock track, flirting with disco, charms with its floating synth lines, punchy drums, and a palpable party atmosphere, making it a must-have for lovers of Brazilian grooves.
