The special heavyweight vinyl edition of Super Nova Samba Funk – the comeback album from Banda Black Rio featuring Brazilian heavyweights Seu Jorge, Marcio Local, Elza Soares, Cesar Camargo Mariano & more. William Magalhães forms a modern-day Banda Black Rio epitomising the spirit of his father Oberdan’s original ‘70s Brazilian samba soul and funk group. BBR defined the Black Rio movement now enjoying a revival headed by Magalhães’ incarnation with the passion of soul and funk again linking Rio and New York for a feel-good blast that also takes in hip-hop, samba, pop and bossa.
