Back in stock due to popular demand, the 11th in our signature Brazil 45's series came in the form of João Bosco - O Ronco Da Cuica and Antonio Adolfo E A Brazuca - Transamazônica. Two jewels from Brazil's rich musical heritage.On the A side, prolific guitarist João Bosco's MPB masterpiece 'O Ronco Da Cuica'. Originally appearing on his 1976 'Galos de Briga' LP released on RCA Brazil, it had yet to have had an official 7" . It's an intoxicating blend of passionate vocals, feverish cuica and deftly picked acoustic guitar. On the flip, Antonio Adolfo E A Brazuca's track 'Transamazonica' is an all-time classic Brazilian jazz fusion gem. Taken from the hard-to-find 1971 self-titled LP on Odeon Brazil, it again had never been released on 7". Adolfo was the founder of Trio 3-D and later played with Elis Regina. Album Tracks 1. O Ronco Da Cuica 2. Transamazônica
