Franca, Homero Quero Ver Voce Sambar / Mas Nao Deixe De Ir 7-Inch Single Vinyl

A floaty, smouldering underground bubbler, 'Quero Ver Voc? Sambar' is, to our knowledge, the only record by Homero Fran?a. Released on a 7" compacto on Chantecler Records in 1976; the song was co-written by Aloisio Silva, who was the composer behind the tripped-out, instrumental monster track 'Tema, R'. Hidden on the B-side of an obscure lost 7", 'Quero Ver Voc? Sambar' is soulful samba at it's finest, with a beautiful call-and-response chorus, it brings the heat to the dancefloor. Vocalist Silvinha Ara·jo graced us with a number of wonderful recordings in the 60s and 70s, including collaborations with her husband Eduardo Araujo. 'Mas Nao Deixe de Ir' is taken from Silvinha's 1969 album 'Caminho Sobre Nuvens' on Odeon Recordings. The backing track loosely resembles Archie Bell & The Drells classic 'Tighten Up', and here Silvinha's take gives the track a new twist, blessing it with her uniquely powerful, gravelly vocals that effortlessly ride the breakbeat. At just over two minutes long, it's short but powerful.
