Brazil Classics at 20

VINYL FORMAT. Luaka Bop has been able to expand the shelf life of many record collections without any added chemicals or preservatives over the course of 20 years starting with the influential Brazil Classics Series. Featuring cross-sections of music from the Tropicalia, samba, forro and mangue beat scenes and the unrivaled originality of Tom Ze, each compilation has presented the origin of significant artistic developments from South America's great musical innovators.

Having now delivered seven packages documenting each scene, the most recent being 2008's What's Happening in Pernambuco, the label is proud to offer a limited edition vinyl compilation of some of the most defining tracks from each album. Brazil Classics at 20: Anti-Aging Solutions Revealed distills the highlights from the previous Brazil Classics compilation and presents them in the ever modern vinyl format. If ethnomusicologists are correct, Luaka Bop may have found another way to add years of enjoyment to listeners' lives.
