Description

Brazilian musician, singer-songwriter and businessman Tim Maia was one of a rare sort among the MPB canon; his musical chops weren't the end of his talents, as he also ran the soul, funk, psych, jazz and samba record label Seroma. The imprint through which Maia would release most of his ingenuities, Seroma saw to releases by Maia and most of his contemporaries and affiliated projects, including J. Quest, Lulu Santos, Sampa Crew and Gilberto Wanderley. But of course, the foremost motif to be funnelled through the Seroma spout has to be Maia's penchant for self-titled records, the fifth of which (his seventh album overall) hears a reissue here. As ever, Tim Maia is an eleven-track balladic dream - it wasn't the first to top the charts in his native Rio de Janeiro either - and commands a veridically vintage sound; when not taking the time to romantically serenade the listener, Maia is heard coolly riffing against wah-funk, or professing head-on collisions of samba and baiao.
