Released in 1983, Sandra Sá's 'Vale Tudo' is one of the essential Brazilian-boogie-funk records of the era. Pure class throughout, with a dream team of incredible musicians and producers behind the scenes
DJ El Palmas and El Dragón Criollo have chosen eight impossibly hard-to-find Venezuelan jewels, originally released between 1966 and 1978, reissued here for the first time on vinyl.
The music on the recording "an amalgam of highlife, Twi-language rap, funk and disco" is presented with the passion of a Prince record and the DIY-bedroom-recording lo-fi charm of early Chicago house music.
