🇧🇷 Stock drop! 🇧🇷 Another shipment of Chaleira Voadora Discos has landed, with Jards Macalé, Luiz Melodia, Marcelo Alkmim and more hitting our Discogs soon...

Highlights include Ricardo's personal choice of the lot, Jards Macalé - Contrastes (1977-OG) minty definitive copy. "Perfect sounding diverse album, probably the best production Macalé ever had the way he deserved. You will have classic samba and adventurous "far out" tracks, as well as a couple of ground breaking dancefloor stuff, all beautifully arranged in this mighty album."

Luiz Melodia's "Claro" is in excellent condition - Melodia's 6th album has some hard and busy funky grooves! Superb condition overall with double fold insert present, all very new, definitive copy.

There's also a couple of copies of Marcelo Alkmim's 1982 self titled release (1982 new old stock) "Obscure independent gem from Minas Gerais. New old stock, but white cover has some mild yellowing. Double insert and record itself are absolutely minty. So many awesome musicians gathered together here (as is seems to be Minas Gerais tradition) having some outstanding arrangements at this folk-jazz-prog fantastic album. A must listen and have!

Watch this space for more releases when they land
