My third time buying this landmark album (my CD, and then files keep getting lost, esp between computer changes) Wow, what an introduction to Brazilian Tropicalia, by the always eclectic David Byrne! At the time it came out (no internet, youtube etc, I had just started learning Brazilian music from some Brazilian friends, and this album absolutely cemented my lifelong love of this music.

Universal Beings
by Makaya McCraven
supported by 14 fans who also own “Tô”
I was brought here after listening to a live performance of Makaya's on you tube. I instantly loved the song Holy Lands so much that I had to see if the album version was the same rendition as the live one. Then I listened to the whole album! Universal Beings is a just a groove... It's a mix of traditional and something new, very nice.
