About

An essential album from Brazil's majorly progressive heyday of late seventies jazz-funk.

Viralata sits comfortably on the same pedestal as Azymuth's Light As A Feather and João Donato’s Quem É Quem, which is no co-incidence. All three keystone LPs were recorded and engineered by Toniniho, considered by many to be "the Brazilian Rudy Van Gelder" whose magic touches in the studio also helped to produce Marcos Valle's Previsão Do Tempo and Joyce's Água E Luz among many other holy grails and unassailable classics of soulful Brazilian music. – Far Out Recordings

"Saturday nights at Plastic People wouldn't have been the same without this album. Cascavel was such an important track for the club, it was the last tune we played there before the doors were closed forever.” - Sean McAuliffe (Plastic People & NTS Radio)
