(LP + CD) Originally released in 1968, Caetano Veloso's debut album did for Brazilian music what the Beatles' Sgt. Peppers did for rock & roll, giving birth to the soon-to-be Tropicalia movement, which fused Brazilian music with pop, psychedelia and social awareness (and Veloso's leftist politics actually earned him a stint in jail in 1968 for 'anti-government activity'). Veloso, nonetheless went on to become one of the most popular and influential Brazilian musicians of all time. Includes the genre-defining classics InchClariceInch and InchSoy Loco Por Tì, AméricaInch, InchSuperbacanaInch, InchTropicaliaInch and InchAlegria, AlegriaInch. Now with bonus CD of the album and OBI InchbookmarkInch Japanese style.

First album by José Afonso recorded and published after the 25th of April, InchCoro dos TribunaisInch is a truly timeless record, yet another tour-de-force that clearly demonstrates that musical experimentation, the crossover approach between Portugal and Africa, as well as the themes lyrical lines of intervention and humanism that José Afonso had already accustomed us to. Engraved on London with Fausto Bordalo Dias, Vitorino, Carlos Alberto Moniz, Adriano Correia de Oliveira, José Niza, Yório Gonçalves and Michel Delaporte, the disc is composed entirely of themes written before the 25th of April, as if José Afonso had not felt the need to comment on current events but to continue, always timelessly, to wait a better future. Almost 50 years later, the album is more relevant than ever and continues to demonstrate precisely that genial timelessness, which makes it more current than ever.
