About this item

Extremely unique, psychedelic up-tempo Brazilian jazz fusion. Flutes, piano and vocal harmonies drift in and out of the mix, creating a lush soundscape.

Taiguara was a prolific and hugely successful singer and songwriter - primarily within pop / MPB - whose career spanned nine albums in the late 60's and 70's. He is also thought to be one of the most censored Brazilian artists and was exiled to London in the 1970's by the Brazilian dictatorship.

'Aquarela' is taken from his most experimental album 'Imyra, Tayra, Ipy' originally released in 1976 on Odeon and is a killer up-tempo psychedelic funk/soul track, highly sought after, originally released on Copaconana 7" in 1970.

On side B Marisa Rossi's vocals, and also the backing track to 'Deixa Eu Te Amar', sound very much like the wonderful Swedish soul-jazz / funk singer Doris. This one's a real swinger.
