TOQUINHO

All-time classic Brazilian album, featuring Jorge Ben on Que Maravilha, Zana and Carolina Carol Bela as sampled by DJ Marky on LK. Brazilian guitarist and singer Toquinho (real name Antonio Pecci Filho) was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil in the 1940s. His first major hit single was Que Maravilha, as featured here, that he wrote with Jorge Ben. This album also features Zana and the ultra-famous Carolina Carol Bela, also written with Ben. Toquinho had a prolific career releasing a huge number of albums and writing on even more. He released many records with Vinicius de Moraes during the 70s. Carolina Carol Bela was sampled by DJ Marky on his drum n bass hit LK - the track that launched the sound of Brazilian drum n bass outside of Brazil. Official Mr Bongo reissue.
