I want to give my Sister a CD of Jorge Ben's Tabua de Esmereldafor Christmas - I could burn mine, but I'd like to give her somethinga little more legit ... I knew I had seen it on eBay, but when I wentto buy one, realized they were all Brazil sellers, and may not make ithere by Christmas ... and cost almost $40 US total ... anyone know ofa website in the US that carries classic Brazilian stuff on CD? I'd like to get her the first Gal, too, and maybe Gal/Caetano "Domingo" ... I was able to find the Gilberto Gil S/T for cheap from a domesticseller, but really want the Jorge Ben and Gal stuff for her.

    Yes, so obvious I checked it before making this thread.
    They don't list the Jorge Ben at all, and have the Gals
    listed but marked "out of stock," and not "temporarily" either.

    Also had already checked Amazon. They don't list the Gals,
    and there is one "used" copy of a Tabua for $50

    There was one little indie website from the San Juan islands... a husband and wife that were importing CDs from Brazil. I met them at the Seattle Brazilfest a few years ago. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

    And has anyone tried ordering to the US from Modern Sound? I love their store in Copacabana. Their online shop is a little weird but they take Visa and ship internationally.

    Hmm, all titles DG used to have for like $13.99. Only other place I've seen a comparable selection on CD at comparable prices is in Amoeba LA.

    takes a while to ship from Brazil, but lots of great titles.

    Anyone have the hook-up on this album/cd:




    Not a raer by any stretch, but heard a clip and i like the samba/bossa groove.
