BADBADNOTGOOD Presents - Brazil 45 Boxset Vol.6 RSD Edition

Delving into their love of Brazilian music from the '60s up to the current day , BadBadNotGood's selections work like a beloved mixtape, taking you on a journey through time and genres. Starting with contemporary tracks from O Terno and their sublime, skippy string- laden number 'Tudo Que Eu Nao Fiz', to Chico Bernardes' heartfelt, slowly simmering folk track 'Ate Que Enfim'. Elsewhere, Menahan Street Band and Roge's modern-anthem mood lifter 'Tropical Man' feels like a timeless funky Brazilian classic, and listeners are treated to Bala Desejo's Dora Morelenbaum at her most serene and ethereal on 'Vento de Beirada'.

There's also a deep dig into lost Brazilian treasures. First up, a beautifully haunting, psych-folk obscurity taken from Naire's self-titled 1974 album. This is backed by Guilherme Coutinho and Grupo Stalo 's genre- shifting, trippy- pop anomaly 'Rio Corrente', echoing successive bands such as Stereolab and Belle and Sebastian. Alongside it, a much- loved classic from Antonio Adolfo E A Brazuca, 'Transamazonica', sits side by side with a dose of 1966 bossa-jazz excellence from Som/3.

Closing out the boxset, the deepest and most experimental selection comes from Sebastiao Tapajos and Pedro dos Santos' quirky guitar and percussion 1972 track 'Despedida de Mangueira'. This is paired with a heroine of the keys and underground Brazilian musical great, the musician / vocalist Ana Mazzotti and her track 'Agora Ou Nunca Mais'.

A captivating collection of sought-after tracks crossing genres, decades and tempos, offering a glimpse into BadBadNotGood's eclectic tastes, whilst exploring ever further the richness of Brazil's musical history.
