Jugoton Bossa Nova! (2lp)
This gem, "Brazilian Wave in Yugoslavia", compiles the early `60s songs when Yugoslavia fell in love with Latin American music. Bossa nova, samba, rhumba, mambo, you name it, made their way into jazz bands and dance halls across Belgrade, Zagreb, and Ljubljana. After WWII jazz resurfaced, and by 1963 Jugoton released one of the first bossa nova records in the region: Bogdan Dimitrijevic's "Bossa Nova" EP. This compilation digs into the Jugoton archives to highlight those rare, often-overlooked tracks influenced by the Brazilian wave. Think Joao Gilberto meets the Adriatic coast jazzy, soulful, and totally unique. A must for fans of bossa, Yugoslav pop, and vintage global sounds. Limited stock, don't miss it.
