Marcia Maria Amigo Branco

Marcia Maria’s slow to mid-tempo disco gem Amigo Branco has become a club favourite in recent times. Released in 1978 on Capitol Records, despite being better known these days, is actually from the hard-to-find and expensive album / 7” EP and promo-only 12” single which features the greats Lincoln Olivetti and Robson Jorge in the production team. Simone’s adaptation of Tudo Que Voce Podia is a real treat and takes things back to the start of her career. Taken off the self-titled album from 1973 on Odeon Records, this brilliant anthemic song was penned by Lô Borges and Marcio Borges and has also been recorded by the brilliant Milton Nascimento.
