'Agora E Moda' is a psychedelic, disco- boogie- groove monster brought to our
attention by Greg Caz and Sean Marquand aka Brazilian Beats Brooklyn .
Originally released on Rita Lee's 1978 album Babilonia LP on Som Livre, this
sublime track is drenched in squelching guitar licks, funk drums and sensuous
cosmic vocal favours.
Lee was the lead singer of Brazilian psychedelic rock band Os Mutantes and a
hugely important fgure in the Tropicalia movement. She sadly passed away in
2023 but her legacy well and truly lives on, loved both in and out of the music
world.
On the fip side, Pete Dunaway's 'Supermarket' is a rare groove/AOR masterpiece
with a killer bass line, swaggering guitar and luscious string section layered with a
perfectly delivered English vocal.
Pete Dunaway, real name Otavio Cardosa was a singer, composer, arranger and
multi- instrumentalist from Sao Paulo, who spent the majority of his time
composing for TV themes and library instrumentals.
