• 1. Wal Sant'ana – Que Vida É Essa
      • 2. Ronie & Central Do Brasil – Atôa Atôa

      ‘Que Vida É Essa’ is a certified samba-rock classic from 1973, taken from one of Wal’s sought after 7”’s. Uptempo for the dancers, with percussive grooves, chic and even some wave sounds for extra sunshine vibe.

      ‘Atôa Atôa’ is a samba-jazz-fusion classic by Ronald ‘Ronie’ Mesquita, featuring Burnier & Cartier. Taken from the sought after ‘Ronie & Central Do Brasil’ LP on Tapecar. Previously unreleased on 7”.
