Samba Is Our Gift [LP]

The Ipanemas were drummer and singer Wilson das Neves and guitarist Neco, two players who helped bring bossa nova into being and went on to record with Elis Regina, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Chico Buarque, Elza Soares and countless others. First issued in 2006, Samba Is Our Gift joins jet-set bossa swing with roots samba and Candomblé rhythms, conjuring 1960s Rio, with Azymuth drummer Ivan Conti sharing drums and percussion.

A Record Store Day 2024 exclusive (official RSD UK release) and the album's first ever vinyl pressing, remastered and cut by Stuart Hawkes at Metropolis, issued for Far Out's 30th anniversary.
