Description
Back in stock due to popular demand, the 19th release in our signature Brazil 45's series shone a light on Wilson das Neves' brilliant cover of Average White Band's 'Pick Up The Pieces' and an all-time Mr Bongo Brazilian funk favourite in the form of Som Tres - Tanga. Wilson das Neves was a legendary Brazilian percussionist most well known for being part of Os Ipanemas. The A side of this 7" houses his cover of Average White Band's 'Pick Up The Pieces' recorded with his 'conjunto' ensemble. It takes the track into funky samba territory, laden with percussion and horns. Originally released on the Som Quente E O Das Neves LP in 1969.
On the flip side, a Mr Bongo all-time Brazilian funk favourite. Blistering drums, feverish vocals and peaking piano packed into just over 2 minutes. Som Tres were a trio formed by prolific pianist, arranger and producer Cesar Camargo Mariano. 'Tanga' originally appeared on the Um E Pouco, Dois E Bom, Este Som Tres E Demais LP on Odeon Brazil in 1970. Both of these Brazilian beauties were previously unreleased on 7".
