Remastered 180g reissue of the self-titled Brazil soul classic by the mysterious Brazilian vocal sensation Dila (pronounced: "Jee-la") from 1970, which, due to a tragic car accident, was to remain their only album the following year. Arranged and produced by Durval Ferreira and his studio band Os Grilos (The Crickets), the album is a jewel of the authentic, soulful samba sound of the favelas of Rio de Janeiro of the late 1960s / early 1970s.
We are very happy to announce our 30th compilation from the Analog Africa regular serie, 'La Locura de Machuca 1975 - 1980', telling the story of Colombia's most atypical and peculiar record company: Discos Machuca La Locura de Machuca is the story of one man's bizarre odyssey into Colombia's coastal music underground, and the wild, hypnotic sounds he helped bring up to the surface.

You have to hear it to believe it. 'La Locura de Machuca 1975 - 1980' comes as a Double LP on 140g virgin vinyl with a gatefold cover and a full color 16-pages booklet. The CD comes with a full color 32-page booklet.
