Miguel de Deus - Black Soul Brothers (1977)

Last Thursday we had the chance to stay with a rare LP from Gerson King Combo, the King of Brazilian Black Movement. Today we open up with the amazing Jorge Ben with Trio Mocoto Live in Japan.

Since then, several requests of Brazilian Black music has been arriving to zecalouro. Among several ones, I decided to pick up what is considered a synthesis of Brazilian Black music from the 70's, the only solo LP released by Miguel de Deus - Black Soul Brothers (1977).

Every collector or fan of the Brazilian Black movement from the 70’s around the world desires this LP. In the last 10 to 15 years, several copies were sold to fans in Europe and Japan, the prices at old vinyl stores and websites has been rising year after year.

Miguel de Deus was active since the mid 60's. He took part as member of some important bands, such as Os Brasoes and Assim e Assado, some kind psychedelic joke based on Secos e Molhados. Miguel de Deus was born in Bahia and now lives in Sao Paulo, I could not check if Miguel de Deus is still active or retired from the scene. Tracks include:

01 - Cinco Anos (Miguel de Deus)
02 - Pedaços (Miguel de Deus)
03 - Mister Funk (Miguel de Deus / Nelsão Triunfo)
04 - Flaca Louca (Miguel de Deus)
05 - Black Soul Brothers (P. Rocco / Santiago)
06 - Lua Cheia (Miguel de Deus)
07 - Pode Se Queimar (Miguel de Deus)
08 - Fábrica de Papéis (Miguel de Deus)

    just found this album elsewhere and was going to post in my own blog, but googled first.

    i might do a linking post instead. good work finding this. it's totally funky but totally mental in a total post-tropicalia way.

    It's a shame that he has passed - I think he was one of the most overlooked in MPB, Black, Psych and Prog - the guy had a finger in many different pies over the years including Gal Costas 2nd LP (tuareg).

    Was just listening to the Assim Assado LP then - immense record! Thanks Miguel RIP
