VA - Street Soul Brazil: 1987-1995 [Compiled by Augusto Olivani] (2019) [WEB]

Street Soul Brasil (1987 - 1995) compiled by Augusto Olivani features songs from prominent artists of the era's urban street movement, at their creative epochs.

Part mellow pop, part R&B, adorned by melodic drum machines and hints of national rap, this noteworthy work comprises of ten original tracks fully licensed and extracted from the master tapes for your listening pleasure.
It's a soulful compendium of sounds, memories, and feelings from Augusto's own universe, translated into his first ever compilation under the Hello Sailor Recordings catalog.

Augusto Olivani has been digging through Brazil's forgotten music treasures since a young age.
He is best known for his work as a DJ, digger and producer under his musical alter ego, Trepanado, head of Selvagem (legendary party running for the past 8 years) and captain of his own imprint Selva Discos.

There’s a couple of ballads at the end that might be more meaningful for those that have grown up with them and come with a slight aroma of fromage. Not that is necessarily a bad thing… Taken as a whole though, this collection is very very hard not to love. Summertime selection right here! 12.5/10. Very highly recommended.
