DESCRIPTION
A first-time replica re-issue of a highly sought-after, rare Brazilian MPB / Funk nugget from 1974.
Brazilian 7" singles or compacts often get overlooked outside the world of avid Brazilian collectors and DJs, but this is where some of the most exquisite jewels of Brazil's rich musical tapestry lie.
This release has been a long time in the works, and now, we are thrilled to present a replica version of one of our favorite Brazilian 7”s – the outstanding Morro Do Barraco Sem Água by Lemos E Debétio (aka Toninho Lemos & Paulo Debétio). Discovering tracks like Morro Do Barraco Sem Água makes you want to go the extra mile. You spend that extra time—often irrationally—sifting through a stack of 7”s, hunting for that elusive gem, or disappearing down an Internet wormhole, sacrificing precious hours before you need to be up for work. This effort is always worth it, as the payoff is the revitalizing musical treasure you find.
Originally released on Odeon Records in 1974, Morro Do Barraco Sem Água remains incredibly hard to find despite being on a major label. From the moment the needle hits the groove, with its guitar and drum break intro, you know this track is special. A feel-good, addictive melody with fantastic swooping arrangements and a pulsating funk backbeat, it’s over far too soon. We hope you enjoy this audio treasure as much as we do!
