Mandrake Som - O...,Amigo (1977)

One of Brazil's finest percussionist, Mandrake Som, released this rare Italian-only album in 1977. It is a perfect follow-up to his previous bossa-jazz killer 'Sombossa', bringing even further the fusion between brazilian percussion-heavy music and jazz.
All in all it is a real groovy gem that deserves to be better known, and it includes great covers of 'Mulher Rendeira' or the timeless 'Dindi', plus original compositions such as the title track, 'Estrada do Sol' or 'Disparada'.

Enjoy it!
