Spiritual, intimate and revolutionary, yet firmly rooted in Brazil's folklore. Africadeus was the breakthrough album of the mighty Naná Vasconcelos, in which he discovered the berimbau to the world and took the instrument to a universal level. Having played in the shadows for other artists such as Milton Nascimento, Gato Barbieri or Som Imaginario, Naná is here finally in the spotlight.
Recorded in 1973 in France for Pierre Barouh's Saravah label, this is the album that definitely imprinted Naná's name in the international scene, on his track to becoming one of the best percussionists of all times.

Style: Psychedelic Soul / R&B Garage

Format: LP
Label: Columbia

Year: 1967

Condition: VG+/VG+

Psychedelic Soul with a strong message and kind of a Stooges roughness,

that makes their sound incredibly unique. The epic 11 minute long Time has come today

might actually define the genre/file under with the fuzz guitar and heavy acid vibes throughout.

It is a proper masterpiece ahead of it's time and it has more cowbell than most ;) Tick Tock!

There are a few tracks on the album that are closer to the soul.

Of which I want to mention the fluffy Uptown that describes Harlem

as the "land of the free" for young Afro-Americans sick of racial oppression.
