Tim Maia | Racional Vol 2 | Vinyl LP - Blue

The rare second volume of Tim Maia\u2019s Racional album series from the 70s \u2013 even funkier and more harder-edged than the first! The record really follows the heavy soul influence that Tim had been hitting on his early 70s albums for Polydor \u2013 a strong dose of American funk and R&B, especially from the east coast indie scene \u2013 filtered down beautifully by Maia, one of the few cats in Brazil at the time who really knew how to get the sound right \u2013 and how to mix it with the best of his local influences! There\u2019s some wonderful grooves here \u2013 definitely of the funky Brazilian type you\u2019d know from the Samba Soul generation, but also much more solidly soul, too \u2013 given Tim\u2019s fantastic vocals, and strong ear for putting over a tune! Titles include \u201CPaz Interior\u201D, \u201CO Caminho Do Bem\u201D, \u201CEnergia Racional\u201D, \u201CQue Legal\u201D, \u201CQuer Queira Quer Nao Queira\u201D, and \u201CImunizacao Racional\u201D
