Number 94 in the Brazil45 series is one for the Brazilian boogie lovers out there. The vocal and instrumental group Os Carbonos from Sao Paulo had a long career that straddled the '60s, '70s and '80s. 'Pássaro Selvagem' is taken from the latter years of their career. It's a bass driven, boogie-funk groove (with a bassline not too dissimilar to Queen's 'Another One Bites The Dust') that is Brazilian boogie at its finest. Taken from the B-side to a compacto 7" released in 1981 on Copacabana Records, its proven to be a favourite of Luke Una and we foresee it becoming a staple in your DJ box for years to come too. The B-side comes from one of Mr Bongo's all-time favourite artists, the mighty Sandra (de) Sá. Sandra is a wonderful vocalist, her intense and recognisable style is one of THE voices of the Brazilian boogie golden era. Check out her classic album 'Vale Tudo' (MRBLP230) on Mr Bongo for further proof of her credentials here. 'Palco Azul' is also taken off a 7" single from 1981 and is a feel-good dancefloor groover with punchy brass stabs, warm keys and uplifting chord changes. It contains all the right elements that we have come to associate with that knockout late '70s/early '80s Brazilian sound.
