Brazil 45, number 70: A. O Grupo – Socorro / AA. Ronaldo – Retrato De Dete

‘Socorro’ is a banging, mid-tempo Brazilian funk groove taken from their second Copacabana LP and a 7” from 1977. Tough.

Half-speed heavy funk on ’Retrato De Dete’, written by Arnaud Rodrigues. We don’t know very much about Ronaldo unfortnately. The track surfaced on a Copacabana 45 in 1970 and is difficult/expensive to pick up now.
