“Evokes the perfect spaced out acid-bossa vibe…there’s a youthful pulse to this dreamy time warp.” The Daily Telegraph ****
“A beautiful, deep Brazilian record from Mauricio & Nana. This new album is amazing!” Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio 1)
Inspired by the success of Maestro, Joyce & Vasconcelos' 1976 lost classic ‘Visions Of Dawn’, Far Out's Joe Davis encouraged Maestro and Nana to return to the studio in Rio, 2010 to complete the long-time coming follow up. Upside Down is a special new recording that stirs up a time when people dared to make liberated records like this. Maestro’s moving compositions melt together hypnotising strings with his own darting acoustic guitar and wonderfully languid vocals. The master of percussion Nana Vasconcelos brings an endless concoction of exotic instrumentation to stirring life as mind-bending vocals move in and out of focus combining with guest vocalist Kay Lyra – completing the modern folk trio – for floating harmonies and delicate psychedelia.
