Nico Gomez: Soul Of Samba

Nico Gomez a Belgian orchestra leader of Dutch roots has long been a favourite with Latin fans record diggers DJs and collectors alike. His blend of bossanova latin jazz and easy listening always turns up a few choice nuggets and surprises what is perhaps most remarkable is that it was recorded in Europe. Back in 2013 Mr Bongo re-issued Nico Gomezs sought-after Ritual album from 1971 and now we follow it up with another jewel from his catalogue his 1972 album Soul Of Samba. For this re-issue we have opted to present it with the cover art originally used on the Trio Records version released in Japan. In the Netherlands and Belgium the album was released with different cover art under the title Bossa Nova on Omega International and International Bestseller Company records respectively. We loved the beautiful psychedelic design of the Japanese version and wanted to use it for this re-issue. Soul Of Samba features several euro-bossa-jazz favourites such as the catchy Rio which was a firm DJ choice cut at jazz dance nights including Brightons Jazz Rooms in the 90s. It also featured in Rainer Trbys classic Glcklich compilation series which explored European-Brazilian-inspired music. The beguiling Aquarela with its engaging latin shuffle entices feet to the dancefloor and is not one to miss. Agua has a lazy-quirky latin-funk feel with breathy-stoned vocals floating in the background. The album additionally features numerous breezy latin Brazilian and easy listening joints some of which are ripe for sampling.
