So finally, the time feels right to release this \u003cstrong\u003ebeloved gem\u003c\/strong\u003e back into the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally issued on \u003cstrong\u003eSom Livre Records\u003c\/strong\u003e in Brazil in 1972, this rarity has long been lost to only but the most hardened Brazilian record collectors and those lucky few who own an original copy. The four genre-defying compositions blend elements of psychedelic rock, MPB and folk, and are glued together by the synergy of Luli and Lucinha's vocals and the outstanding arrangements by Zé Rodrix. Whether it be the lost Brazilian - psych anthem of 'Flor Lilás’, or the tripped-out folk - funk of 'Dourado Da Manhã’, the \u003cstrong\u003eEP oozes magic and brilliance.\u003c\/strong\u003e The record also features the Brazilian percussionist, \u003cstrong\u003eAlyrio Lima\u003c\/strong\u003e, who later became a member of the \u003cstrong\u003eiconic Weather Report. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuli (Heloisa Orosco Borges da Fonseca) and Lucinha's (Lucia Helen a Carvalho e Silva) records have become extremely sought - after in recent years. Their inclusion on \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Gómez's\u003c\/strong\u003e superb 2017 \u003cstrong\u003e'Outro Tempo' compilation\u003c\/strong\u003e helped spread the gospel about their beautiful folky, MPB, private press albums from the late '70s and '80s. Prior to their musical partnership back in 1965, Luli released a heavenly Bossa Nova 7\" nugget entailed 'Baleiro' and a self - titled solo album on Philips Records, which are now also highly - prized by collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere at Mr Bongo, we feel Luli and Lucinha 's names should be more widely recognised and break out of their cult artist status. They should be rated up there amongst some of the progressive, left - field greats of Brazilian music of their era. Sadly Luli passed away in 2018 but left behind an \u003cstrong\u003einspiring musical legacy\u003c\/strong\u003e for us all to savour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3am4UkCIsjc\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luli Lucinha E O Bando","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 7\"","offer_id":58738464457088,"sku":"MRB7191","price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/1384\/1792\/files\/MRB7191-Luli-square.jpg?v=1787214453","url":"https:\/\/vinylvers.com\/products\/flor-lilas-vinyl-7","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
