Last copies... RSD UK JUNE DROP RELEASE. Color vinyl. Super Nova Samba Funk, the comeback album from Banda Black Rio, featuring Brazilian heavyweights Seu Jorge, Marcio Local, Elza Soares, Cesar Camargo Mariano, and more. Originally released in 2011, this edition features two tracks from the project that were never released on vinyl, "Irerê (feat. Gilberto Gil)" and "Aos Pés Do Redentor (feat. Caetano Veloso)". William Magalhães formed Banda Black Rio as a modern-day incarnation of his father Oberdan's original '70s Brazilian samba soul and funk outfit. Reigniting the Black Rio flame, Magalhaes brought together Brazilian icons Seu Jorge, Marcio Local, and Elza Soares feature alongside bossa pioneers Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, as well as Flame Killer and GOD PT3 from the famed NYC Mobb Deep crew for the project. With a renaissance in Brazil's black music culture led by a new generation of soul, funk, and hip-hop artists BBR finally returned with a brand new formation for comeback album Rebirth in 2000, before launching their most ambitious project to date with 2011's Super Nova Samba Funk -- the group's sixth studio album produced and led by William Magalhães. The philosophy on Super Nova Samba Funk remains the same: celebrating the musicality of black Brazil through strong lyrical representation and its unique combination of jazz, funk, soul, samba, and gafieira. "Super Nova Samba Funk (9 No Samba)" and "Samba Nova" are two special instrumental tracks that showcase Rio's finest players who together form BBR. Isabela combines elegant brass, jazz, and gafieira swing that counts the special input of Elza Soares -- the legendary scatting samba singer -- and Cesar Carmargo Mariano -- the famed pianist and arranger, father of Maria Rita, and husband to Elis Regina. Seu Jorge -- world famous Brazilian musician, singer, songwriter, and actor famed for his roles in City of God and Life Aquatic whose latest music project with Almaz signed to Stones Throw Records -- distinctive samba vocals fire the infectious Brazilian soul-pop of Louis Lane and Lindos Olhes -- Jorge featuring alongside respected Brazilian R&B and rap stars Dom Pixote and Mano Brown; Marcio Local -- a major new Brazilian star signed to David Byrne's Luaka Bop. Also features Aleh.

2011 release. William Magalhães forms a modern-day Banda Black Rio, epitomizing the spirit of his father Oberdan's original '70s Brazilian samba soul and funk group, on Super Nova Samba Funk. BBR defined the Black Rio movement now enjoying a revival headed by Magalhães's incarnation with the passion of soul and funk again linking Rio and New York for a feel-good blast that also takes in hip-hop, samba, pop and bossa. Brazilian icons Seu Jorge, Marcio Local and Elza Soares are featured, alongside bossa pioneers Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil as well as Flame Killer and GOD PT3 from the famed NYC Mobb Deep crew. Super Nova Samba Funk brings Rio's black music cultures together to embody the ecstatic revival of Brazil and the Black Rio movement. Formed in Rio De Janeiro, 1976, Banda Black Rio pioneered the soul-funk movement in Brazil led by renowned saxophonist Oberdan Magalhaes. As global stars of the politically charged Black Rio movement, emerging almost a decade earlier from the Soul Brasileiro genre, BBR brought together Rio's black funk scene to rally against repression, a conservative record industry and white middle class press to mobilize disenchanted black Brazilian youth against the military dictatorship that mirrored the struggles in North America. Banda Black Rio released a string of unforgettable recordings in the late-1970s from 1977 debut album, Maria Fumaça, on Warner Music to 1978's Gafieira Universal on RCA Recordings that is considered one of the all-time great Brazilian jazz-funk records. Their third album, SaciPererê, was also released in 1978 by which point the band had made a lasting impact both in Brazil and abroad. Following the death of original band leader Oberdan Magalhães in 1984, the band stopped recording and performing. With a renaissance in Brazil's black music culture led by a new generation of soul, funk and hip hop artists, BBR finally arrived back with a brand new formation for comeback album Rebirth in 2000, before launching their most ambitious project to date with 2011's Super Nova Samba Funk - the group's sixth studio album produced and led by William Magalhães. Also features: Mano Brown, Aleh, Pyroman, Cesar Camargo Mariano and Don Pixote.
