Erasmo Carlos, a true legend in Brazilian music with a wide spanning career full of gems. This record is one of his lesser known gems, but it’s worth listening to most of his stuff. Light in the Attic did a few reissues of the late 60’s early 70’s psychedelic stuff. Another giant no longer with us.
