Banda Black Rio – Maria Fumaça

A landmark in Brazilian music history, Maria Fumaça fuses samba, soul, funk, and jazz into a radiant, floor-filling masterpiece. Originally released in 1977 on Atlantic, this debut by Banda Black Rio became an instant classic - an exuberant, horn-laced celebration of Brazil’s rhythmic richness and Black musical excellence.

From the tight funk grooves to its carnival-ready samba soul, every track pulses with the kind of infectious energy that’s made it a favorite of tastemakers like Gilles Peterson and Theo Parrish. This album features in a list of the 100 greatest Brazilian albums of all time published by Rolling Stone Brazil, coming in at number 38.

Whether you're crate-digging for golden-era Brazilian fusion or just looking to lift the mood, Maria Fumaça delivers. Essential listening.
