Antonio Adolfo e a Brazuca

[Teasing the Korean]

I have two albums by them.

What is interesting is that each album has one absolute drop-dead standout killer track. 

Here is one:

And here is the other:

So my question is:

Does anyone know if Adolfo, with or without Brazuca, has other tracks that sound anything like either of these?

Seems to be a key figure.

Yes, I think he is still around.

Did you listen to those two tracks?  They are fantastic! When I used to DJ, they were always top selections.

I have the second of your examples, and must add that it's a very good album. By the way, there was another artist, also Brazilian, who also used the name Brazuca, albeit much later. In the mid 2000s. I think his name was Wagner Pa.

The transamazonica was that trans-Amazon highway built somewhere in the 70s.

It is, but would you agree that this is the standout track?  I would love an entire album in that groove!

I don't know that. But now looking at the other cover I'm starting to feel as if I had that too. Transamazonica definitely sounds familiar, but I thought it was by somebody else.

I've just checked: I don't have the first example right now. But I'm almost sure I had it before.

They are very nice for dancing, but not quite my taste, the drummer is too rockish for me.

Well, sure, but that is kind of where lots Brasilian music had gone in the post-Tropicalia era.  But I hear you.

That`s when they lost me!

Sounds like Sergio Mendes on LSD.

Sounds like Sergio Mendes on CTI.
