New Reissues | Ana Mazzotti - Ninguem Vai Me Segurar (1974) & Ana Mazzotti (1977)

New Reissues | Ana Mazzotti - Ninguem Vai Me Segurar (1974) & Ana Mazzotti (1977)

An artist as imaginative and unique as Ana Mazzotti doesn’t come around often. Dubbed a “super-musician” by fellow Brazilian virtuoso Hermeto Pascoal, Mazzotti’s short but rich musical career culminated in just two studio albums: Ninguem Vai Me Segurar (1974), and Ana Mazzotti (1977).

Azymuth announce two volumes of previously unheard tracks recorded 1973-75

Release date: 31st May 2019 | Formats: 2 x Vinyl LPs / CD/ Digital Listen to the first single 'Juntos Mais Uma Vez' below. Since their debut album release in 1975, Azymuth have risen to rank alongside the world’s greatest jazz, funk and fusion artists. As young men in Rio de Janeiro, they stood out for both their exceptional talent as musicians, and their wild rock ‘n’ roll antics in the predominantly middle-class worlds of bossa nova and jazz.
