    MR BONGO USA IMPORT


    The 1977 album from legendary Brazilian artist, Tim Maia. A fusion of soul, boogie, disco and MPB, featuring 'E Necessario'.


    Maia released over 30 albums during his extensive and well-publicised career, touching on funk, bossa nova, disco, MPB, rock, soul and jazz. He was a driving force behind the introduction of soul, funk and disco from the USA into Brazilian music styles and was hugely influential in the 'Black Rio' movement in Brazil in the early '70's.


    This, his 1977 album, that epitomises that fusion of sounds and styles. 'E Necessario' has been a favourite of ours for many years; included on our Brazilian Beats Brooklyn compilation and released as part of our Brazil 45's series.

    Description

    The 1977 self-titled album from legendary Brazilian artist, Tim Maia. A fusion of soul, boogie, disco and MPB, featuring 'E Necessario'.



    Tim Maia is rightly recognised as one of the biggest icons in Brazilian music. He was born in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro 1942, and released over 30 albums during his extensive and well-publicised career, touching on funk, bossa nova, disco, MPB, rock, soul and jazz. In the 1970s, Maia started to record albums and perform shows promoting his synthesis of American soul and Brazilian music with elements of samba and baiao. The movement gradually took the working-class suburbs of the north side of Rio de Janeiro, exploding in 1976 with the black movement and producing artists such as Toni Tornado, Banda Black Rio alongside Maia.



    Maia's funky style was still at its best when he released this album in 1977. It was his first and only recording for Som Livre, the legendary Brazilian label. Recorded across three studios, featuring topsession players and producedby Maia himself, this self-titled tour de force deserves to be shortlisted among his finest albums.



    It was a milestone recording in the black movement and epitomises the synergy of American and Brazilian sounds and styles. It combines soul, funk, MPB and jazz with Latininfluences, disco and pop. The album features classic tracks, such as 'E Necessario', one of the best of his career and a favourite of ours for many years, and the boogie gem, 'Verao Carioca'. These soulful, funky tracks sit next to beautiful, heart-wrenching ballads and theequally funky instrumental'Flores Belas'.
