NOSMOKE RECORDS strikes again, this new compilation gonna make your summer even more hot .
As well as rock, soul music by the likes of James Brown, Otis Redding, and Aretha Franklin also had a big impact in the Brazilian music scene of the 60s.
Soul music was introduced in Brazil by singers such as Gerson King Combo, who released in 1969 the record Gerson Combo Brazilian Soul, featuring Brazilian hits like Asa Branca performed with a US-imported beat. Tim Maia, Carlos Dafé, and Tony Tornado started playing soul hits too and took on the attitude and style of US Black Power, establishing the Black Rio movement. The great muse of that period was Lady Zu from São Paulo.
Traces of the black US rhythm can also be detected in some of the first songs by Jorge Ben Jor (Agora Ninguém Mais Chora, Negro É Lindo, Que Nega É Essa), and, even more so, in others by Wilson Simonal during his Pilantragem phase (such as Mamãe Passou Açúcar em Mim, País Tropical, Tributo a Martin Luther King).
Other more obscure bands and artists also had their moment and importance in the history of Brazilian soul.
Musicians like O Incrivel Manito, The Pops, fusing soul, samba rock, and psychedelic music, Tony e Frankye, Trio Ternura, and, of course, a few others like Vanusa or Eduardo Araujo, who released some of the best Brazilian music records in the 60s and 70s.
This compilation is a summary of what went on during that dictatorship period when soul music was everywhere, from the favelas to the most fashionable and popular parties in Brazilian cities.
Here you will find some of the best tracks of Brazilian psychedelic soul music, a fusion of fuzz, sweat and dancing…
