LULA CORTEZ

A true lost classic Brazilian tribal psyche-rock album.

 

Nearly the entire original pressing was destroyed in a flood (or according to some, a fire) before it had a chance to be distributed and originals now exchange hands for in the region of $1000-1500.

 

The writers Cortez and Ramalho are both from Pernambuco in the North East of Brazil.

 

The album is divided between Terra, Ar, Fogo, Agua (Earth, Air, Fire and Water) across the four sides of the double LP.

 

This is a unique, intense and unpredictable album that moves through areas of jazz, soul, folk, psyche, African and rock via heavy Brazilian instrumentation.
