DORA MORELENBAUM - Pique Vinyl LP

Bala Desejo’s Dora Morelenbaum delivers a stone-cold masterclass in modern MPB with this essential debut solo LP. Co-produced by the visionary Ana Frango Elétrico, the tracks cut through with snapping funk basslines and lush, jazz-inflected orchestral swells. Morelenbaum’s vocal presence is both commanding and ethereal, gliding over intricate percussion and shimmering disco-soul grooves. This record expertly bridges the vintage tropicalia aesthetic with a sharp, indie-pop edge that feels entirely vital. It is a high-calibre press from Mr Bongo that demands a spot in any serious Brazilian crate.
