picked up 2 new releases that are new takes on some essential Brazilian recordings
Orquestra Afro-Brasileira (produced by Mario Caldato Jr!)they put out 2 holy grail records more than 50 years ago, the one surviving member got a new crew together and they've done some shows and put out this LP, a mix of songs from the old records and some new ones I think:

Letieres Leite & Orquestra Rumpilezz - Moacir de Todos os Santos
RIP to the one Letieres Leite, who should really have been breaking out internationally with this but died earlier this year before the record got released. This is his take on Moacir Santos' Coisas LP, and Letieres was the one dude really carrying on Santos' musical legacy.
