2025 press.
One of the purest distillations of early 60s Rio - the harmonies are so tight you could bounce a coin off them. Os Cariocas glide through Jobim and Baden Powell tunes with that glassy, effortless bossa precision that defined the Elenco era. It’s polished but properly soulful, the kind of record that makes your living room smell faintly of lime and vinyl dust. If you’re into the elegant side of Brazilian cool, this is top shelf.
FFO: João Gilberto, Quarteto Em Cy, Sergio Mendes, Marcos Valle, Sylvia Telles
