Product Description
It's late '60s, early '70s Rio de Janeiro where, for a few glorious years in the sun-drenched ghettos, the sun, samba & funk fused in a heady mixture of afros, black power and huge funk parties catering to up to 10,000 people. This is the story of Brazil's most forgotten movement - Black Rio. Black Rio mirrored the struggles in North America, maintaining a particularly close link to the soul brothers in Harlem. Artists like Tim Maia and Toni Tornado drew from the US soul and funk of Motown, Stax and James Brown to create their own blend of 'soul brasileiro'. Black Rio is compiled and annotated by DJ Cliffy, the man behind the successful 'Future World Funk' album series and club nights and the Brazilian club 'Batmacumba' at London's ICA. Package features extensive sleeve notes by Cliffy, rare photos, club flyers and memorabilia. Strut. 2002.
