Georgette- Kirie

Back in stock due to popular demand, the 26th release in our signature Brazil 45’s series. For this 7 inch, we shone the light on two Brazilian masterpieces from Georgette and Claudia that are firm favourites of some of the biggest DJs in the business, including Gilles Peterson, Four Tet and Floating Points. ‘Kiri’ by Georgette is simply one of ‘those’ tracks. It gets better with every listen and you hear something different every time. Taken from the hard to obtain ‘A Moca do Mar’ LP on Tapecar in 1976, previously unavailable on 7″, you won’t forget this one in a hurry. Long championed by Gilles Peterson and co, the tight uplifting guitar changes, layered percussion and super-subtle strings radiate under Georgette’s vocal, backed by a chorus of male vocals. The flip features one of Claudia’s best, ‘Com Mais de 30’ a cover of Marcos Valle and Paulo Srgio Valle’s original version. Fuzz guitars, joyous piano, huge drums, percussion and Claudia’s soaring vocal make for a heavy yet uplifting MPB/funk track of the highest order. Originally released on her hard to find ‘Jesus Cristo’ LP on Odeon in 1971. Also featured on Four Tet and Floating Points iconic Plastic People closing party mix.
