Popis - OS CANIBAIS / BRAZILIAN NUGGETS [VINYL]:
An incredibly original album of Brazilian nuggets from the Mocambo/Rozenblit catalogue, Os Canibais had a meteoric rise to fame starting in 1964 in Rio de Janeiro. The group was originally made up of Aramis (guitar/vocals), Serginho and
Max (vocals) and later they brought in the wonderful Denise Baker (vocals) and Horacio (piano). Originally the group was to be called 'The Drunks' but after careful consideration they chose the much catchier Os Canibais (The Cannibals). They
decided on this non-English name to differentiate from the Jovem Guarda TV era: The Fevers, The Jordans, The Clevers and so on. Jonas Silva, the A&R at Mocambo then signed them and their first single sold over one hundred thousand copies and made it into the Top 10. They broke new ground by being the first Brazilian pop-rock group to perform with a live orchestra in 1966 on TV in Rio, when the system of playbacks was still in its early days, they then went on to play the Brazilian Woodstock in 1969. They made one more LP under the pseudonym 'Bango' on Musidisc label, where their psychedelic music style was compared to Os Mutantes. The LP features fully reproduced original photographs and artwork. Produced on heavyweight, old-style, gatefold packaging, the same as the original LP. Original label art. Limited edition.
