NEM VEM QUE NAO TEM / NAO ADIANTA

Wilson Simonal and Trio Mocoto provide a double dose of Brazilian classics for this Brazil 45's 7 inch. First up, an infectious, samba-MPB hit from one of Brazil's most popular artists of the '60s and early '70s, Wilson Simonal. Originally released on 7 inch by Odeon in 1967 and landing on Simonal's Alegria, Alegria !!! album in the same year, 'Nem Vem Que Nao Tem's fame had a new lease of life in 2002 when it was used as part of the soundtrack to the critically acclaimed film, 'City Of God'. On the B side, one of Jorge Ben's main backing bands and a group that was highly influential to his sound, Trio Mocoto. Alongside recording with Ben on the seminal Forca Bruta, Negro E Lindo and Tabua de Esmeralda LPs, they were also key figures in the development of the samba rock sound - a fusion of samba, soul and rock influenced by music from the USA. First appearing on Trio Mocoto's self-titled 1977 Arlequim LP, 'Nao Adianta' is a dynamic orchestral-infused gem, laced with that sun-kissed, samba flavour. Remastered with refreshed artwork.
