Back in stock due to popular demand, the 41st release in our signature Brazil 45's series. Turning the spotlight to two monster funk/bossa nova cuts from Rosa Maria, we reissued a double header of firm favourites here at Mr Bongo HQ. Originally released on 7" in 1972 via Tapecar, copies of the OG are extremely difficult to get your hands on. The A side houses 'Deixa Nao Deixa', with it's distinct afro-Latin feel courtesy of the guitar, horns and percussion. Add in the catchy lead vocal, strong harmonies, funk/bossa drum grooves, shuffling percussion and the continuous build to the end, and you have one of the greatest Brazilian funk records ever pressed. 'Avenida Atlantica' takes the B side. Funk and bossa drum grooves alternate underneath the layers of vocals, horns, piano and percussion for a fiery, energetic dancefloor heater.
