Antonio Adolfo & A Brazuca
Description
Antonio Adolfo & Brazuca - Antonio Adolfo & A Brazuca (No.1) [Japan LTD CD] UICY-76458 Review: Brazilian psychedelia from 1971 - A fairly wild, sometimes grating, psychedelic pop set from the Brazilian hippie-tropicalia era. The Brazuca band mixes the dense, flowery vocal harmonies of bands such as Grupo Manifesto and Sergio Mendes' Brazil 66 with chaotic, patience-testing contemporary psych styles from up North. This album is definitely not for everyone -- the quieter, more lyrical moments are largely upended by their challenging, jarring counterpoints. But for collectors interested in unusual and challenging world pop, this is definitely an album to seek out. (This album is available in by a pricey Japanese collector edition -- with bonus tracks -- and in a more affordable Brazilian reissue that came out in 2003.)
