Review: We'll never tire of the incredible Brazil45 series on Mr Bongo, which has provided an authoritative window into the rich history of 60s and 70s grooves from South America. Here's a missing joint from the series which took some time to come to fruition - a split release featuring Brazilian Boys on the A side and Rubinho E Mauro Assumpcao on the B. 'Super Herois' is an obscure slice of off-kilter, psych tinged funk from 1975 that has the kind of individual sound which could find favour with a lot of different DJs. 'Tudo Ai' has a more recognisable samba shuffle, but much like the A side there's a subtle twist in the sound which leans towards blues rock and jazz, locking down on the rhythm and creating a low-key party starter in its own unique way.

Sim Sim Sim (reissue) (limited red vinyl LP + insert)
Cat: MRBLP 269R. Rel: 10 May 23
Review: This is a special red vinyl reissue of Bala Desejo's award-winning debut album. Bala Desejo scored big at the Latin Grammys with this one and it finds the Rio de Janeiro band demonstrating their canny blend of 60s tropicalia, 70s psychedelia and MPB throughout. The music is all about bringing pleasure and is full of wistful escapism and aching beauty that comes from the country's rich heritage of good-time grooves and sunny sounds. Spearheading a new wave of music and art from Rio de Janeiro, Bala Desejo mixes up everything you know and love about the music of their homeland with plenty of fresh new ideas.

Review: Banda Black Rio were and still are an incredibly influential jazz-dance band from Brazil. Their three albums have been in any serious digger's back since then and, more recently, they've seen a renewed interest thanks to iconic British collectors and DJs such as Gilles Peterson and the rest of the London fusion crew. Maria Fumaca's tracks are the perfect balance between funk, jazz and disco, blending all three in one perfect shape for both the dancers and the armchair listeners. Tunes like "Na Baixa Do Sepateiro" focus on drums and hypnotic guitar solos, while others like "Caminho Da Roca" go deeper into the jazz end of the spectrum but still retain enough Brazilian tropical flare to make them an absolute pleasure on the dancefloors. A much recommended reissue, and one that would have cost you a fortune up until now. Mr Bongo in the place.
