Deixa Nao Deixa / Avenida Atlantica (Ofgv) [Reissue] Vinyl Record

Back in stock due to popular demand, the 41st release in our signature Brazil 45's series. Turning the spotlight to two monster funk/bossa nova cuts from Rosa Maria, we reissued a double header of firm favourites here at Mr Bongo HQ. Originally released on 7" in 1972 via Tapecar, copies of the OG are extremely difficult to get your hands on.The A side houses 'Deixa Nao Deixa', with it's distinct afro-Latin feel courtesy of the guitar, horns and percussion. Add in the catchy lead vocal, strong harmonies, funk/bossa drum grooves, shuffling percussion and the continuous build to the end, and you have one of the greatest Brazilian funk records ever pressed.'Avenida Atlantica' takes the B side. Funk and bossa drum grooves alternate underneath the layers of vocals, horns, piano and percussion for a fiery, energetic dancefloor heater.
