Amazonian music from Northern Brazil in the ’70s compiled on new Analog Africa 2xLP

“The soundtrack for sweltering nights in the city of Belém’s club district.”

Analog Africa is releasing a compilation featuring Amazonian dance music from Northern Brazil during the 1970s.

Jambú e Os Míticos Sons Da Amazônia includes 19 tracks compiled by Samy Ben Redjeb and Carlos Xavier, the majority of which were recorded during the mid-1970s, in the northern Brazilian city Belém.

Local sound system culture and traditional Amazonian music combined with international influences arriving via its vibrant port, to create a unique mix of sounds.

Its double vinyl release includes a 24-page booklet with liner notes, interviews and archival images.

Jambú e Os Míticos Sons Da Amazônia follows Analog Africa’s reissue of Dur Dur Band Of Somalia Volume 1 & 2.
