MAD ABOUT, the label specializing in reissues of '70s〜'80s Brazilian funk and disco, delivers yet another deep-digging find! Rumored in some circles to have been a private press, the original is extremely hard to come by. "Terra" — also the debut of Porto Alegre musician GELSON OLIVEIRA, who remains active to this day — fuses a wide array of genres from jazz-funk to AOR and MPB. From the acoustic MPB of "Picadeiro" (sample1) to the funky Brazilian dancer "Irmazinha" (sample3), where electric piano melts in sweetly, this is an original Brazilian masterwork that only outstanding musicianship and musicality could produce. Don't miss this chance! (Original Japanese text by Akie)
