Unearthing tracks from the seemingly endless\n\u003cbr\u003egold mine of Brazilian gems, the compilation features legends such as Jorge Ben,\n\u003cbr\u003eGretchen, Marcos Valle and Robson Jorge \u0026amp; Lincoln Olivetti, alongside unsung heroes\n\u003cbr\u003eincluding Ze Carlos and Carlos Bivar.\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003eOver 20 years ago, the Horse Meat Disco crew (James Hillard, Severino Panzetta, Jim\n\u003cbr\u003eStanton and Luke Howard) began their weekly residency at Eagle London back in\n\u003cbr\u003e2003. That same year, Luke made his first visit to Brazil, beginning a musical love\n\u003cbr\u003eaffair that is still going strong. \"I had always wanted to go to Brazil since I was a kid,\n\u003cbr\u003eand when I finally had the opportunity to go with Princess Julia, I was just blown away.\n\u003cbr\u003eI've visited Rio every year since 2003, and in that time, I've learned Portuguese and\n\u003cbr\u003etried to discover as much as I can about Brazilian music and popular culture. I learned\n\u003cbr\u003eto dance samba with the Paraiso School of Samba in London and paraded three times\n\u003cbr\u003eat Rio Carnival. Brazilian music was a brand- new world for me to explore and get\n\u003cbr\u003eexcited about--a whole universe of genius musicians, singers, and styles.\"\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e9 years later, Mr Bongo invited Luke down to their Brighton HQ for a listening session\n\u003cbr\u003eof some of his favourite Brazilian boogie and disco 7\" finds. A compilation was greenlit,\n\u003cbr\u003ebut multiple licensing delays and the release of other HMD compilations meant\n\u003cbr\u003ethat it lay dormant for years. Fast forward to 2024, and with the help of esteemed,\n\u003cbr\u003eRio based record collector Tee Cardaci, along with suggestions from HMD's James\n\u003cbr\u003eHillard, the dream of an HMD Brazilian compilation finally materialised.\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003eIt's a carefully curated collection that includes the electronic-boogie\/italo-disco-esque\n\u003cbr\u003e1984 groover 'Venha (Remix)' by the singer Ze Carlos, two cuts by Luiza Maura taken\n\u003cbr\u003efrom her sought- after Deixa Girar 7\", and Gretchen's sultry 'Ela Tem Raca, Charme,\n\u003cbr\u003eTalento E Gostosura' written by Jorge Ben. At its core, this compilation captures the\n\u003cbr\u003eexcitement and sense of discovery that won over Horse Meat Disco's heart more than\n\u003cbr\u003e20 years ago.\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003eA vibrant mix of feel-good favours, it homes in on a sun-soaked strand of disco and\n\u003cbr\u003eboogie that has been enriched with the spirit of a nation where music serves as a\n\u003cbr\u003ecentral pillar of life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mr Bongo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55431163511158,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/6450\/6005\/files\/HORSEMEAT.jpg?v=1738844588","url":"https:\/\/www.stickyblacktarmac.com\/products\/various-artists-horse-meat-disco-presents-disco-boogie-from-brazil-vol-1-copy","provider":"Sticky Black Tarmac","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
