The reissue the out-of-print debut album from Brazil's 10-piece instrumental powerhouse: Bixiga 70. Originally released a decade ago, the self-titled record is the bold mission statement for the acclaimed albums that followed. Urgent and uncompromising. An inspired soundworld where Afro-Brazilian traditions and retro and contemporary sonics seamlessly meld together. The LP-only reissue is a celebration of Bixiga 70's 10th anniversary and has been specially mastered for vinyl and lovingly packaged in a gatefold sleeve. From the very first album the band created a compelling mélange that almost immediately propelled Bixiga 70 to the forefront of Brazil?s contemporary instrumental music scene - a place where they have remained ever since. The band?s self-titled debut is anything but the typical first album. It is in its own way, every bit as accomplished as the records that followed.It is the watershed. A deep and unforgettable first cut.
