I just stumbled on a lovely Brazilian soul track! I thought I'd share it, since this blog is meant to be an eclectic treasure chest of musical gems. And a gem is certainly is.
Tim Maia seems like an interesting character indeed! He traveled to north America to try and make it big but was deported for smoking pot in a stolen car (Never a good idea.) so he went back to Brazil and joined a UFO obsessed religious cult. Looking at his discography, he has released over thirty albums, ten of which are named after himself. This song is delightful, but I don't think I can try to keep up with thirty albums, so I'll just keep enjoying this track with it's twangy guitars and those belting vocals.
Soundtrack to: A Brazilian Tarantino movie. (Smoking pot in a stolen car?)
