Antonio Carlos & Jocafi - Mudei de Ideia (1971)

Antonio Carlos & Jocafi, nice Brazilian dudes who made a real noise in the 70's with several songs on top of the charts. I do not know who is Antonio Carlos and Jocafi at the picture, but if you were in Brazil in 1971 and 1972, you probably heard until get exausted their top hit, Voce Abusou, which is the opening track of their debut LP, Antonio Carlos & Jocafi - Mudei de Ideia (1971).

There are several crazy stories about this duet, I will tell you one: this song that never gets out of your head - Voce Abusou - got a tremendous success in France with the name of Fais comme l'oiseau and was adopted as the hmny by a French politica party. I cannot remember exactly which party, but the French composer who made the version did not give credits to Antonio Carlos & Jocafi. They went to court successfully against the French composer. I think you should not miss this release. Tracks include:
