I have a 1978 made in Brazil Disco album by the Cosa Nostra Disco Band called "Tarantella Disco" featuring Santo Malfatti, but I'm not sure if this is Brazilian or Italian, to me the music sounds like Discofied versions of popular Italian classics melodies.

Anyone knows if this band was Brazilian or Italian ??

I thought I was the only one who had this record! :icon_mrgreen:

I always thought of it as Brazilians disguised as Italians, like Disco Push said. This must be some of the cheesiest disco ever made, I mean Jussi-worthy kind of disco. And that cover! :icon_biggrin: Sadly I don't have a scanner to post it here, but it's too much!

About Mr. Sam, he was like a Brazilian Rosko (Push says he's from Argentina, but his talk sounds pretty portuguese to me). I have a Rosko-like disco compilation LP called "Mr. Sam" with his voice introducing some pretty good mixes of Kool & The Gang, Rita Lee, Sugarhill Gang and the classic "Feel good party time" between others. Very good for its kind.

Reading this topic from the beginning I find a post by our friend Zeca mentioning Tim Maia. I found a PolyGram compilation of his work, with some disco but also a marvelous melody from 1970 called "Azul da cor do mar". It must be one of the most beautiful Brazilian songs I ever heard.

Hello again! Yes, Mr Sam use to speak Portuguese (with a foreigner accent but he does), well, this is not important, one things I recognize is his contribution to the brazilian disco movement and to the early 80s pop music in Brazil. About Tim Maia. There are one track I love and it is called "Eu e Você" and "Boogie Esperto", he sung with Sandra Sá, a tune called "Vale Tudo", a nice song...Cheers, Marcel Chapman

I didn't see this post until now :icon_rolleyes:

I entered this in the vault for fun a while back, but I think this is all ancient history of an obscure record no less , and nobody cares today.:icon_sad:

I bought this copy mainly for the cover, there was something "dirty" about this picture that caught our young eyes..:icon_biggrin:
