first fell in love with Axis: Bold As Love, but it was Band of Gypsys that changed me as a listener. The poignant terror of “Machine Gun” still shakes me.

On her debut album, Letícia Fialho had a minor hit w. "Corpo e Canção" (Body and Song). Two different dance remixes have become quite popular, w. millions of streams. All from a song she told me almost didn't make it onto the album.

Jimmy Cliff has a long relationship with Brazil. In 1967, his soul song "Waterfall" won the International Song Festival & became a hit in Brazil. In 1968, he recorded this album in Brazil, which is apparently a mix of soul, reggae, & Brazilian sounds.
