Marcio Lott / Silvio Cesar - Tema De Baby / A Festa

A spellbinding pairing of Marcio Lott's rarer than hen's teeth, sun- soaked groover 'Tema de Baby' and the samba-rock fusion flavours of Silvio Cesar 'A Festa'. Marcio Lott's 'Tema de Baby' is a REALLY rare one. We spent a long time trying to license this and were delighted to be able to release it as part of this series. Laid back sunshine samba-rock/funk/MPB, laced with Ramsey Lewis-esque piano and wah-wah guitars and lovely vocals top it off.
Originally released on 7" by Tapecar in 1974. Silvio Cesar's 'A Festa' was brought to our attention - like many others in this series - by the almighty duo Brazilian Beats Brooklyn. A firm favourite here with everyone at Mr Bongo it's a certified stormer from the opening beat. Jazzy, samba-rock fusion that touches on disco when the hi-hats open up. Floating synth lines, tough drums and crowd noise throughout add to the scintillating vibe. Taken from his LP 'Som E Palavras' released in 1977, as also featured on our Brazilian Beats Brooklyn compilation.
