Originally released in 1972, Toni Tornado's self-titled debut is a landmark in Brazilian soul and funk -- a gritty, groovy record that helped define the sound of the Black Rio movement. Blending deep soul, psychedelic funk, and bold orchestration, this album channels the revolutionary energy of James Brown with the tropical swagger of Rio's streets. From the urgent rhythms of "Torniente" to the undeniable strut of "Mané Beleza" and "Tornado," Toni's music pulses with a fierce sense of pride and liberation. It's the sound of a new cultural identity taking shape -- where African-American soul met Afro-Brazilian reality. Often compared to the legendary Tim Maia, Tornado brought his own explosive edge to Brazil's growing soul scene. By the 1970s, other Brazilian musicians, such as Banda Black Rio, Cassiano, Gerson King Combo, Jorge Ben, and Gilberto Gil, began making soul records. DJs started throwing soul-only parties. Toni Tornado's voice carries grit and passion, his grooves hit hard, and his message is crystal clear -- Black is beautiful, and the funk is real. Back on vinyl for a new generation, this reissue is more than a collector's gem -- it's a time capsule from an era when music moved bodies and minds. Essential listening for fans of vintage soul, global funk, and revolutionary sounds. Reissue on 180g vinyl.
