DESCRIPTION
Rubinho e Mauro Assumpção’s Perfeitamente, Justamente Quando Cheguei stands tall as one of the finest Brazilian psych-folk-MPB records we know. A highly sought-after rarity, the album was originally released in 1972 on Tapecar Records, and remains the only recording by this sensational duo.
Even on deep digging trips to Brazil, original pressings are incredibly rare — and when they do surface, they command steep prices. Part of the album’s elusive status may be due to its limited reissue history, with previous editions being mostly confined to the Brazilian market. Through this Mr Bongo reissue, we aim to give this breathtaking album the international recognition it deserves.
The music itself is a masterful blend of folk, MPB, funky-psych, rock, and laid-back samba grooves — all infused with effortless cool and heartfelt emotion. Fans of artists like Milton Nascimento and Lô Borges will instantly feel at home in the magic and melancholy of this album.
Beyond their songwriting contributions, Mauro Assumpção produced the album, while Rubinho co-produced and played piano, organ, acoustic guitar, and handled vocals. The supporting cast of musicians is equally impressive:
-
Gegê (drums) – a veteran who played with Milton Nascimento, Edu Lobo, Dom Um Romão, and more
-
Rick Ferreira (guitar) – known for his work with Erasmo Carlos and Gal Costa
-
Darcy Da Cruz and Formiga (horns) – prolific session players who graced many legendary recordings
Perfeitamente, Justamente Quando Cheguei is a stunning and transportive work — an unsung Brazilian classic that deserves to be savoured slowly, and shared widely.
