Greg Caz & Sean Marquand - The Brazilian Beat Mix: Baile Funk 1

Greg Caz sent this to us many years a go and am just rediscovering it.  For those looking for a 60s/70s Brazilian beat primer, this is it.  24 tracks of goodness featuring Gilberto Gil, Tim Maia, Azymuth, Cassiano, Trio Ternura, etc.

Does anyone still have this? Looks like it's been removed from Soundcloud? :/

I bought this CD from Turntable Lab BITD hoping to be turned-on to whatever it is about latin music that some enjoy. It didn't work.
I love some of the tracks from the Soul Jazz comp Tropicalia. But, without wanting to sound controversial, if a Genie was to wipe all latin-American music from the face of the earth, I wouldn't miss it. There's a limit to how much out-of-time Spanish guitar strumming backed with saccharine happy lyrics that I can listen to. And that limit is somewhere near 0. The rhythms suck ass. The majority of it has no groove, no balls to it, nothing that hooks my attention or makes me even want to nod my head. Girls love it however, and I always wonder if the majority of guys that dig latin are doing so just to get into some girl's pants like something straight out of South Park where Randy pretends to be into fart music because that's what the kids listen to and he doesn't want to look out-of-touch.
99.9% of it I just do not get.

you disrespect the Andean pipe flute, you disrespectin' yoself

The stuff I do like is the drum-music where they have 20-30+ drummers banging away... live, it's like the best sound ever (and great rhythms), but it never seems to translate well to a recording.
The Andean pipe flutes are needed to keep the giant guinea pigs in check, so they get a pass.

I started a brazilian music binge in 2012 and later took three trips to Brazil and learned Portuguese on Duolingo and took the test at the end of the Duolingo and got a perfect score on it.

I question the moral character of any person that cannot enjoy Jorge Ben.

Take It Easy My Brother Charlie was one of the tracks from the Tropicalia comp that I did like. My Jorge collection begins and ends there.

You obviously have never listened to Azymuth or Tom Maia or the good stuff in general. I'm not even sure if you are just trolling.

There's no way he's trolling. He's speaking truth.  I've always thought that Brazilian music a big giant sham.  You know you have too.
