Howdy.

Been listening to this comp a whole lot recently



Been massively digging the Rita Lee track on there.. (especially cooks at 2:18 onwards)





Anyone else like Rita Lee ? Plaese to post up some Rita Lee sureshots ?

    I ride for rita lee Hoje ?? o Primero Dia do Resto da Sua Vida from start to finish (ugly cover aside), one of my favorite Mutantes-related lps:


    Its predecessor Build Up is probably better regarded by most Tropicalia fans, but doesn't do quite as much for me (despite fantastic arrangements/production throughout). That said, a handful of songs thrill me, including Calma and Tempo Nublado.


    As I recall, Atr??s do Porto Tem Uma Cidade gets into more of a 70s arena-rock sound, but is still a whole lot of fun:


    not as familiar w/ her records from then on. my impression is she went the pop diva route?

    Don't sleep on later Rita Lee stuff, it's far easier to get than her earlier records too.





    Evidently it's more disco/boogie orientated, loads of people get turned off by that, but I really dig it.

    Thanks for the info man.

    I forgot I had this Rita Lee joint on another comp and dug it the most...

    She was a straight up rocker for most of the 70's.

    cool -- which records would you recommend from that era, and how would you characterize her 80s work?

    Tutti Frutti was basically a glam band.

    The name Tutti Frutti is a huge turn-off.

    I thought you liked "breezy"?

    That video is odd ... singing into the mirror pulling scowl faces - cocaine much?

    Well at least she was certainly more do-able.
