Various Artists - Music From China & Taiwan - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

13 years in the making, Mr Bongo proudly presents a new compilation of beloved Brazilian disco and boogie finds from the legendary London disco connoisseurs, Horse Meat Disco.

Brazilian music was a brand-new world for me to explore and get excited about a whole universe of genius musicians, singers, and styles.Inch 9 years later, Mr Bongo invited Luke down to their Brighton HQ for a listening session of some of his favourite Brazilian boogie and disco 7Inch finds.
