Black Rio 2
September 16th, 2009
Dj Cliffy from london brazilophile club Batmacumba has put together the collection Black Rio 2 original samba soul 1968-1981, this is a sequel to Black Rio, an excellent compilation on Strut which managed to introduce Brazil’s wealth of samba summery rare grooves to western punters. This collection promises more of the same, many already familiar from house partys and black bailes if you reside in Brazil, but a nice funky selection all the same. If you are patient, you can still find these tracks on vinyl in Brazillian second hand record stores, if you look outside the big urban centres where the knowledgeable record collectors are, you can pick them up cheaply, although in pretty scruffy covers. Anyway Cliffy seems to know his bananas and courtesy of The Fader has done a half hour promo mix to sample the album.
