Zé Ramalho e Lula Côrtes

Brazilian musicians who collaborated on the 1975 psychedelic album Paêbirú.

Paêbirú was composed and recorded in 1974 and issued in 1975 in a limited pressing of about 1,300 copies; most copies were destroyed shortly after release. The album has been reissued (including a release by London-based Mr. Bongo Records) and is noted for its psychedelic, tribal and folk textures.

The reviews present the 1975 collaborative album Paêbirú as a mythic, psychedelic folk work. The record was composed/recorded in 1974 and issued in 1975 in a small pressing that was largely destroyed. Musically it mixes tribal percussion, folk, psychedelia and diverse world influences to create a shamanic, visionary atmosphere. The album is praised for its uniqueness, historical story and musical ambition.

For:Fans of psychedelic folk, collectors of rare vinyl, and enthusiasts of Brazilian experimental music.
