Apart from Os Mutantes and Panico, are there any other good acts I should know about?

The best game metal band in the world?
They will rip your face clean off.


Sepultura

There have been a couple of really good Brazilian post-punk compilations

The Sexual Life of the Savages

and Não Wave

Both definitely worth getting.
Beyond that, there are quite a few decent Tropicalia compilations about.


Yes Siree

Novos Baianos
Os Brazoes
Quinteto Violado
Caetano/Gil/Gal
Tom Ze
Alceu Valenca
Raul Seixas
Ze Ramalho
Early Milton Nascimento
Lo Borges
70s Marcos Valle
Joao Donato


wow

wow - thanks!

does anyone know if theres a record shop in London that sells a lot of south american music?


The best rocky/folky selection

is at Sounds of the Universe at the bottom of berwick st (away from oxford st)

In fact that's the in-house shop of Soul Jazz Records who do the "Tropicalia" and "Brasil 70" compilations. You really can't go far with either of those, they're great...

Apart from that you can get really hard to find, out of print CDs on ebay, delivered from brasil for about a tenner each


i dont, but, youll be able to get a load

of that stuff on the new souljazz compilation, im not sure if thats out yet though. try amazon itll have a lot otherwise.

more recent band (and mexican):
