Mr Bongo brings us another Brazilian rarity to the masses with this sublime reissue of the larger than life’s 1978 gem, which combines the glitz & glamour of disco’s heyday with Maia’s raw funk & soul roots. maia’s sound represented a new black Brazilian consciousness. The album kicks off with a trio of floor fillers: the exuberant party starter ‘A Fim De Voltar’, a sing-a-long anthem in ‘Acenda O Farol’ & the undeniably funky hit ‘Sossego’. He also shows his tender side on slow burners like ‘Murm rio’ & ‘Pais E Filhos’, the latter featuring a supersoft bed of harmonies you can’t help but lay down on. then mid-tempo groover ‘Juras’ gets the feet moving again before ‘Jhony’ sends us swaying off into the night. fans of soul jazz’s ‘brasil’ comp, Arthur verocai and gal costa will adore this.
