not exactly november finds, but stuff I've found over the past few months (added links to some of the better ones)
Gilberto Gil - Expresso 2222
Claudette Soares - has nice version of Jorge Ben's Que Maravilha
Ednardo/Pessoal do Ceará - very nice tropicalia-ish record from NE Brazil, arrangements by Hareton Salvanini
Conjunto Folclorico Paramau - solid carimbó
Eduardo Araujo & Silvinha - Sou Filho Deste Chão
Gal Costa - Cantar
Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto - Pretty good rootsy cumbia. Anyone know anything about it? Kind of random to find it in Porto Alegre, I bought it mainly because I pick up anything I come across here with the word "cumbia" and "colombia" on it in the hope that it'll be good.
Hermeto Pascoal - your usual Hermeto
Pedro Sertanejo - solid mostly instrumental forró LP
Dominguinhos - two nice early 80s LPs from him
Assim na Terra Como no Céu stk - feating this funky work out from Waltel Branco
Jair Rodrigues - 10 Anos Depois - only worth it for funky version of Deixa Isso Pra La
don't think I'm going to keep the Paulinho da Viola and Mestre Marçal
Aparecida is very rootsy samba/candomblé music, along with two other candomblé records
the Capoeira LP by Mestre Suassuna & Dirceu has some nice guitar and berimbau tracks like this one
Ed Lincoln is the one with Eu Não Vou Mais
Silvio Britto has some cool garage-y tracks
Bumba Boi de Morros is another folk recording from NE Brazil
Luiz Vagner has a bit of late 70s Gilberto Gil-ish vibe with the mpb/reggae mix, but it a good way
Azambuja & Cia - from the same people who did Baiano & Os Novos Caetanos (Arnaud Rodrigues, mainly), has some nice tracks on it
Grupo Cravo & Canela (not to be confused with the other Cravo & Canela, I don't think) - has one good samba-funkish track
Osvaldo Nunes & The Pops - Tá Tudo Ai! - party time
Max B - Bananticoco!
Eliete Negreiros - early 80s experimental pop with songs trippy songs like this and crazy ones like this
that Eduardo Araújo & Silvinha "Sou Filho Deste Chão" was one I'd been hoping to find for a while now, pretty happy to have picked it up for less than US$5
