Horse Meat Disco Presents : Disco And Boogie From Brazil Vol. 1

Description

After 13 years of work, Mr Bongo is proud to present this compilation of favorite Brazilian disco and boogie finds from the legendary London disco experts, Horse Meat Disco. This labor of love brings together a fascinating selection of disco, funk, boogie, samba and MPB, past and present. Unearthing tracks from the seemingly endless mine of Brazilian gold, the compilation includes legends like Jorge Ben, Gretchen, Marcos Valle and Robson Jorge & Lincoln Olivetti, alongside unsung heroes like Zé Carlos and Carlos Bivar. More than 20 years ago, the Horse Meat Disco team (James Hillard, Severino Panzetta, Jim Stanton and Luke Howard) began their weekly residency at Eagle London in 2003. It was the same year that Luke first went to Brazil, marking the start of an unbroken love affair. A vibrant mix of comforting flavors, sunny disco and boogie, nourished by the spirit of a nation where music is a central pillar of life, this compilation wonderfully captures the excitement and taste for discovery that won over the heart of Horse Meat Disco more than 20 years ago.
