Back in stock due to popular demand. The 80th in our Brazil 45 series, aptly focusses on the breathtaking 1980s recordings of one of Brazil's musical giants, Jorge Ben. With this 45, you are treated to a double dose of classic cuts from the master in the form of, 'Curumin Chama Cunhãtã Que Eu Vou Contar (Todo Dia Era Dia de Índio) and 'Rio Babilônia'. First up is the addictive, bubbling, sun-kissed grooves of 'Curumin Chama Cunhãtã Que Eu Vou Contar (Todo Dia Era Dia de Índio)'. Taken from the 1981 Bem-Vinda Amizade album originally released on Som Livre ?Records, it's tangible warmth soaks into every fibre of your body. A sentimental homage to the indigenous people and tribes of Brazil, this is quintessential Jorge Ben. The flip features one of Jorge's most beloved Brazilian boogie joints, 'Rio Babilônia'. A joyous mid-tempo joint celebrating life in Rio, it's feel-good flavour and the city's iconic monuments, with a swaggering synth bass that struts out over Copacabana beach. Originally released on a compacto and taken from the Dádiva album from 1983, there are no surprises that it features arrangements from the late-great, Lincoln Olivetti. Album Tracks 1. Curumin Chama Cunhã TÃ Que Eu Vou Contar 2. Rio Babilônia
