1. Ronaldo Reseda – E Novamente Mas Que Nada
2. Robson Jorge & Lincoln Olivetti – Ginga

‘E Novamente Mas Que Nada’ is the opening track from Reseda’s 1979 album on Som Livre. An ultra catchy vocal hook, boogie guitars and synths lead into a piano and cuica breakdown and horns to finish. ‘Ginga’ is taken from Robson Jorge & Lincoln Olivetti’s self-titled masterpiece. and arguably the most immediate and club friendly track from the album. Another premium example of Brazilian boogie from the masters of the sound and producers for the likes of Rita Lee, Erasmo Carlos, Don Beto, Marcos Valle, Tim Maia, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, Sandra Sa, Painel de Controle and many more.
