An absolutely legendary album from Lebanon by Issam Hajali’s group Ferkat Al Ard, “Oghneya” stands out as one of the great musical gems of the Arab world. A groundbreaking release from 1978 that represents the meeting point of Arab, jazz, folk and Brazilian styles with the talent of Ziad Rahbani, who did the albums arrangements. Filled with a variety of sounds and genres, from Baroque Pop to Psych-Folk to flashes of Bossa Nova, Tropicalia and MPB, “Oghneya” is like if Arthur Verocai took a trip to Beirut in the 70’s to record an album.

Brazilian singer and composer Arthur Melo turns to the ‘70s & ‘80s, to the musical greats like Caetano Veloso and Milton Nascimento, channelling his love of director Brian de Palma and old detective films, and positioning himself amongst a new generation of contemporary musicians.

Some records just stop you in your tracks. They resonate with you and feel instantly familiar like an old friend, even on the first listen. SOYUZ's third album ‘Force of the Wind’ is one of those records. It holds all the trademarks, beauty, and eccentricities of classic Brazilian recordings, from the 60s and 70s, that we have come to love. Think artists such as Milton Nascimento, Lô Borges, Burnier e Cartier, Arthur Verocai et al. But this record wasn’t made in Brazil and is in fact a brand-new release.

O Samba É Elza Soares is the third studio album by Brazilian singer-songwriter Elza Soares, released in 1961 by Odeon, with musical production by Ismael Corrêa and arrangements by Astor Silva.

Maria Rita is a musical pioneer that was ahead of her time. On first hearing her song, 'Cântico Brasileiro No.3 (Kamaiurá)’, we thought it sounded like a contemporary remix that an artist such as Carl Craig could have produced. In fact, it came out in 1988 and was taken from Maria's 'Brasileira' album, released on the Brazilian, independent Acorde imprint. The song would go on to gain cult status with its inclusion on John Gomez's superb 'Outro Tempo' compilation, released on the Music From Memory label in 2017.

Sim Sim Sim' is the Latin Grammy award-winning debut album from Bala Desejo. A band who are at the forefront of Rio de Janeiro's artistic renaissance, they channel influences of Brazilian 60s Tropicália, 70s psychedelia and MPB to create a nostalgic, yet joyfully, avant-garde sound.

Um dos grandes compositores do Brasil, com mais de 500 obras gravadas e também conhecido por ser um dos vocalistas do Sampa Crew, Valtinho Jota lança “Ancestralidade”. Como o próprio título sugere, o álbum traz a força da ancestralidade reverenciada em histórias de amor, como já é uma marca latente na carreira do autor.

A formidable couple! Guido Di Leone and Francesca Leone represent one of the most successful and significant artistic partnerships not only in Italy in the field of Brazilian music, bossa nova. With the previous album (CORAÇÃO VAGABUNDO), also by Abeat, they had great success with the public and critics. This new release has all the ingredients to repeat this excellent result.

Let the point be made straight away: within Cantorias, women predominate. Their debut album of the same name features stirring rhythms, dreamy mantras, and exuberant songs in which four voices become one: Lilian Vieira, Femke Smit, Anna Serierse and Nina Rompa. Close harmony with a sultry Brazilian twist. Boys in the band are Lucas Santana, Daniel de Moraes, Breno Virícimo and Udo Demandt.

Each record of Chico Buarque's show frames a clear portrait of the artist's time and Brazil's time. How about a samba? Live-album released today, November 24-sparks flash from a country in turmoil.

This is the new album from the Brazilian music quintet founded by Julien Doumenjou in 2014. It's a third opus that draws on years of interpreting the great names of MPB (Brazilian Popular Music) and a constantly renewed repertoire. This time, with the exception of 'Construção', a wild song by Chico Buarque and a real tour de force for its performers, the group offers its own original compositions. Bossa nova, samba, choro, waltz and even a nod to Mozart - everything is present in an explosion of colour and enthusiasm, made all the more infectious by the fact that the quintet has invited prestigious musicians and friends from the classical, jazz and MPB worlds to join them.

Ana Frango Elétrico is the most effervescent and innovative voice to surge up from Brazil’s new wave. Already with two critically acclaimed albums and a swathe of award-winning production turns under their belt, Ana will present their most confident and accomplished work to date on October 20th: Me Chama De Gato Que Eu Sou Sua / Call Me They That I’m Yours. Gesturing to a tradition of Brazilian boogie music, but bouncing with modern pop ebullience, the album sees the Rio artist evolve from a captivating upstart into a surefooted scene leader in full stride.

Bebel Gilberto releases her new album via [PIAS] Recordings. Entitled Joao, the album is a collection of songs made famous by her father João Gilberto, widely regarded as the “father of Bossa Nova music. João Gilberto passed away in 2019 after a 70 year career in music. Bebel began singing with him as a small child and the songs she sings on this new album have been with her all her life. Says Bebel- "João" is a love letter to my father. Since my first album I've never really covered any of my Dad's music. Now it's time to present to the public the songs from João Gilberto that have influenced me since I was born- and even before”.

Featuring 20+ groundbreaking artists from Rio’s resurgent music scene, intent on bringing an avant-garde edge to bossa nova, samba, jazz and funk.
