Straight up reissue of Piry Reis’s beautiful 1975 seven inch release ‘Heroi Moderno’/‘Cisplatina’, which has been on many Brazilian music enthusiasts wantlists for a number of years now.

‘Heroi Moderno’ is a classic cut that was featured on the Brazilian Guitar Fuzz Bananas compilation (2010) by Joel Oliveira Stones, so we knew about this one, but the b-side is a serious gem too. It’s another version of ‘Cisplatina’ we learned about via Brazilian music connaisseurs Yusuke Erikawa & Tadatomo Ohshima from Tokyo. This beauty is for everyone who enjoys the music of Arthur Verocai and Hareton Salvanini, to name just a few.

This double vinyl set also features another 7” that includes the cuts ‘Reza Brava’ and ‘Céu De Manágua’. Both have been longtime Rush Hour favorites, so we couldn’t let the opportunity go by to include these as well.

The whole project came together with the blessing of Piry Reis himself and we hope his music will enrich your life a bit like it did ours. Artwork comes courtesy of Amsterdam’s Sekan & Megin Hayden.
