Ahhh man, your truly in it now.
Arthur vibin'.I had this album in my diggin days.
I liked the cut Na Boca do Sol (in the mouth of the sun).
It had a Crusaders vibe to it.

Also the song Presente Grego(greek gift)
was straight up in Johnny Pate style.
You can't miss with these.

The next time you go on a dig, write down these names...
Jorge Ben,Tim Maia,Milton Nascimento check them out.

by the way, you know Arthur hooked up with many Brazilian heavyweights
in his sessions like..Robertinho Silva, Pascoal Meireles,
Luiz Alves, Paulo Moura, Edson Maciel,etc..

Jorge Ben,Tim Maia,Milton Nascimento

All staples and favorites. Wish I had more on wax but its easy to go over board quickly looking for OG pressings. I got in contact with a seller down in Brazil recently who could get a lot of things on my wantlist (including an OG of Jorge Ben "Forca Bruta" and some Tim Maia as well) but its just not worth the prices sometimes. Represses when available are necessary in most cases (for me), and even then they're not always cheap and might be somewhat limited or hard to find.

Not sure if you've seen it but a solid Tim Maia compilation was recently released: [www.luakabop.com]
Now that dude was on some crazy other shit, great music though.

Ok,Vamo I see your well versed,so let me get off the beaten path here and bring a few of these
artist to your attention.



















Sergio Cassiano,is one of my favorites.
He's brasileiro but the name of the album is Cuban Soul 18 Kilates.

Oh, and the repressings come mostly out of Rio and S.Paulo where the prices are jacked.
Up north they carry alot of the originals for cheap because it's poorer up in those areas.
Alot of the merchants and yard sale type sellers have no idea of the going rate abroad for these records
because they copped them from a father of uncle.They just try to make a few dollars (reais)

@ Beatmaster - Sergio Cassiano is sample heavy (all his shiznit) on the strength...

Bless me with an mp3 of the above joint, Fam.... I don't have it and ask humbly...




peace.

^^ No problem at all my brother, I love passing along the flavor.
I sent it to the sendspace dropbox in the Teacher's lounge.
Can you or RC tell me if it went thorough.It said that it was completed.
When you get it,holla..and I'll send some similar joints from him and others to you the
same way.

Peace fam!
