double vinyl in gatefold sleeve

celebrating 30 years of mr bongo with a double vinyl compilation of rare finds, favourites and hot selects.

a comprehensive compilation, the first of its kind, of the avant-garde and experimental music scene of latin america from 1976 to the late 1980s. featuring pioneering artists from peru (miguel flores, manongo mujica), ecuador (amauta), mexico (decibel, via lactea, jorge reyes), venezuela (musikautomatika, miguel noya), costa rica (autoperro), argentina (quum), uruguay (carlos da silveira), brazil (grupo um), chile (malalche) and colombia (banda dispersa de la madre selva). includes booklet with liner notes by luis alvarado and artist photos.

this album is another chapter in the ongoing there s-muchmore-to-brazil than-bossa-nova saga. it s filled with disco-eratracks produced for the brazilian domestic marketplace, some of which were hits, others which were quite obscure. what binds them all together - besides their common origins, time period and overall musical approach - is the fact that their reputation has been steadily transcending brazils borders. this has allowed these tunes to find their place on set lists, want lists and in the crates of the world s most discerning djs and tastemakers.
