Far Out begin their classic re-issue series with a much sought after Brazilian rarity. Rubens Bassini was one of Brazil’s finest and most respected percussionists and a vital component of the original Os Ipanemas and Sergio Mendes’ Brazil 66, plus later 77 and 88 incarnations.

This 1963 solo outing, originally released as a limited vinyl LP, is full of deep traditional African, Brazilian, Cuban and South American rhythms and moments of unexpected blissful folk and hypnotic psychedelia. Wind and strings provide unusual arrangements for Bassini’s pulsating bongos and endless exotic percussion to explode through. Featuring an all-star team of ‘60s Rio players this vivid percussion dream can finally be heard in all its mythical glory.
