Fatiado Discos reissues Di Melo's self-titled debut, originally released in 1975. Born from the magical mid-70s scene of Recife, Pernambuco, it fuses Brazilian samba and baiao with North American soul and funk and British psychedelia. Introduced to Sao Paulo's music industry by Jorge Ben, Roberto de Melo cut the record with players including Hermeto Pascoal, scoring a nationwide hit with its opener "Kilario" and radio favorites "A Vida Em Seus Metodos Diz Calma" and "Pernalonga." A sought-after Brazilian soul-funk grail, this reissue includes the original 1975 insert with lyrics, family-archive photos, and full musician credits for the first time.
