ALT 007 WERTHER WERTHER LP 06.2019
ALTCD 007 WERTHER WERTHER CD 06.2019
1970's best kept bossa nova secret. Surrounded by mystery for nearly 50 years due to
its obscurity, this is one of the most honest, personal and unpretentious albums of
its genre. A selection of 12 exquisitely crafted songs supported by measured, subtle
arrangements. It was only in the 1990s that Werther's album was rediscovered by a
handful of collectors and Brazilian music enthusiasts, who recognized its purity that
had already vanished from the mainstream Bossa Nova recordings. But due to the haziness
around the original release and the relative anonymity of its instigators, many
questions surrounding these recordings were left unanswered. Finally record collectors
are able to disclose the full story behind Werther's short-lived contribution to
Brazilian music.

ALT 008 CARIOCA & DEVAS MISTERIOS DA AMAZONIA LP 06.2019
ALTCD 008 CARIOCA & DEVAS MISTERIOS DA AMAZONIA CD 06.2019
Underground musician Carioca left behind his electrical past in progressive rock in
order to search for new expressions in Brazilian music. His first album is a fully
acoustic, introspective voyage into the world's greatest rainforest, featuring
12-string guitar, mandolin, zither, tabla, flute and self-made percussion instruments.
Drawing inspiration from the folklore of the Amazon and Brazil's north eastern regions,
the six compositions on the album shape an introspective voyage into the Amazon. Along
with percussionists Sergio Otanazetra and Zé Nazário, who made their contributions to
the album.

: THE INCREDIBLE NANA
ALT 9 NANA VASCONCELOS WITH AGUSTIN PEREYRA LUCENA CD 10.2020
: THE INCREDIBLE NANA
Often missing in Naná Vasconcelos' discographies, this is in fact the first recorded
work to his name, one year before recording for Pierre Barouh's Saravah label in
France the records that introduced him to a wider audience. Offering an early glimpse
of his unique approach to music, 'The Incredible Naná' features the first recorded
version of 'Concerto Pra Mae Bio', a composition Naná redid for his ground-breaking
album 'Africadeus', which effectively appointed him as the world's most skilled master
of the berimbau, the single-stringed Brazilian instrument intrinsically linked to the
Capoeira tradition. Originally released in 1971.
