13 years in the making, Mr Bongo proudly presents a new compilation of beloved Brazilian disco and boogie finds from the legendary London disco connoisseurs, Horse Meat Disco

Released in 1983, Sandra Sa‘s Vale Tudo is one of the essential Brazilian-boogie-funk records of the era. Pure class throughout, with a dream team of incredible musicians and producers behind the scenes.

A lot changed between Gal Costa's pleasantly straightforward 1967 debut Domingo and her eponymous follow-up two years later. Domingo, also a debut for young Brazilian songwriter Caetano Veloso, featured a set of airy, somewhat standard bossa nova tunes, sung ably by Costa.

Proudly presenting our reissue of a Bonafide Latin classic from 1979 by the Cuban-born violinist Alfredo De La Fe.

THE JAZZINVADERS "Last Summer in Rio" (feat. Alex Malheiros, Ivan Conti) 'Samba Doido (Crazy Samba)' is definitely the best term to describe the music of the Brazilian band Azymuth.

Presented here is one of Luiz Bonfa greatest albums, Plays and Sings Bossa Nova, on which he collaborates with such stars as Leo Wright, Oscar Castro- Neves , and Lalo Schifrin.

Raw, quirky and lo-f, it's a debut album brimming with attitude and youthful energy, characteristics that would go on to define their sound.

Brazilian avant-jazz vanguardists Grupo Um celebrate their 50th anniversary, sharing a second previously lost 1970s album from the vaults.

Cuban-born percussionist Cándido de Guerra Camero, also known simply as Candido backed numerous jazz acts since the 1950s.

Marcos' rapid and stunning artistic growth is apparent on this Bossa Nova classic. Fans of Sérgio Mendes and Astrud Gilberto (both of whom recorded tons of Valle's tunes) will enjoy it immensely, for Samba '68, with brilliant arrangements by Eumir Deodato, is definitely one of the ultimate "loungey" records. The album received a 4 1/2 star rating on AllMusic，with reviewer John Bush stating that "Samba'68 is a vibrant set of Brazilian pop, indebted to bossa nova and samba but undeniably Americanised for a domestic audience. The result is a joyous album throughout. One of the best Brazilian crossovers of the 1960s."
