Label Code: LC 12527

The third appearance in the Brazil 45 series for the mighty Sonia Santos, here with a relatively under-the-radar gem. Mario is a quirky sambafunk bomb with tripped out synths, wah-wah guitar, horn stabs and is one aimed straight for the dance-floor. Written by Hélio Matheus, it was released on a 7” and four track EP on Som Livre records in 1974 and 1975 respectively. On the flip we keep the funk-vibes going but drop the tempo. The late-great Marcia Maria’s AOR / Rio-funk slow-jam Oh! Man was only released on a 7” single on Odeon Records in 1979. It features the distinctive sounds of Robson Jorge and Lincoln Olivetti in the production team.
