Great freakout record, found in a small town record shop today - there’s a section where Ron Carter and Airto trade bass and berimbau solos. Recorded live the month before Flora Purim started her prison term for cocaine possession
@dada_drummer I had this record when I was 17.... not sure I understood the context back then!
@mkevane I bet it influenced your life in ways you can’t even know
@dada_drummer Certainly when I think of Cravo e Canela a certain song and voice starts instantly!
@dada_drummer I interviewed Flora last year and we talked about this era. https://daily.bandcamp.com/features/flora-purim-if-you-will-interview
Flora Purim is Jazz Royalty

At 80, the Brazilian singer is still making music as vibrant and original as ever.

@burningambulance Curitiba! I would never have guessed - it’s such a normal city. Thanks for highlighting
@dada_drummer What a powerful song 500 miles high is. Didn't know about the cocaine 🙈
