MR BONGO's 7-inch series "Brazil 45s," which reissues Brazilian classics ranging from all-time favorites to rarities, has finally reached its 99th release! A double-sider pairing a beautiful MPB cut with smooth electric piano by the little-documented artist Guto and a funky groover from Tony Nunes driven by Hammond organ and wah-wah guitar!
"Trânsito Livre" (sample_1), a track from the 1979 album "Para Viver" by the mysterious artist Guto — even the label knows little about him — is a laid-back MPB number with cool chorus changes and mellow electric piano. On the flip, Tony Nunes' "Por Favor" (sample_2), whose 7-inch still fetches high prices, is a wildly psychedelic killer samba rock cut that, despite its 1973 release, is loaded with '60s feel.
