released 1989

putas vampiras vol.1 is the debut release of putas vampiras, a dj and producer who is an icon of sao paulo’s queer underground scene.

septuagenarian brazilian music icon elza soares teams up with the cream of sao paulo’s avant-garde musicians for an album of apocalyptic, experimental samba sujo (dirty samba) that tackles the burning issues of 21st century brazil: racism, domestic violence, sex, drug addiction and global warming. the woman at the end of the world is elza’s 34th studio album and her first to feature previously unrecorded material, exclusively composed for her.

the previously unreleased debut album from 1975. starting point was to mark the inception of one of brazil’s most daring instrumental groups. their debut now sits in the lofty echelon of otherworldly 70s brazilian music, alongside the likes of marcos resende & index’s self-titled debut, cesar mariano & cia’s sao paulo brasil, azymuth’s debut and indeed hermeto pascoal’s viajando com o som.
