DESCRIPTION
Back in stock due to popular demand — the 26th release in the signature Brazil 45’s series from Mr Bongo. For this 7-inch, the spotlight is cast on two Brazilian masterpieces from Georgette and Claudia — firm favourites among some of the world’s most respected DJs, including Gilles Peterson, Four Tet, and Floating Points.
‘Kiriê’ by Georgette is one of those tracks — the kind that reveals something new with every listen. Taken from the elusive A Moça do Mar LP on Tapecar (1976), and previously unavailable on 7”, this track leaves a lasting impression. Long championed by Gilles Peterson and company, it’s a lush arrangement of tight, uplifting guitar changes, layered percussion, subtle strings, and Georgette’s radiant lead vocal, supported by a chorus of male harmonies.
On the B side, ‘Com Mais de 30’ is one of Claudia’s finest recordings — a cover of Marcos Valle and Paulo Sérgio Valle’s original. Fuzz guitars, exuberant piano, thunderous drums, rolling percussion, and Claudia’s soaring vocal come together in a powerful yet euphoric MPB/funk anthem. Originally released on her hard-to-find Jesus Cristo LP on Odeon in 1971, the track also featured on Four Tet and Floating Points’ legendary Plastic People closing party mix.
