Rio-born, Joyce Moreno, is one of the
greatest Brazilian artists
of all time. The voice, the playing, the writing, they all combine to make her a true allrounder. She possesses the ability to transport, captivate and transcend listeners. With a career that has spanned more than 30 albums and over 50 years, she continues to record and tour the world.
'Aldeia de Ogum' is one of her
most well-known songs
. With a joyfully jazzy arrangement, building Latin percussion, Brazilian flute and tropical atmosphere, this full-bodied samba smash became an anthem amongst London's DJs and dancers in the
Acid Jazz
days. A favourite of
Patrick Forge
and
Gilles Peterson
, it was regularly spun at their legendary
Dingwalls
sessions.
Originally featured on her sought after Feminina LP from 1980, it also appears on our 'Essential' Joyce compilation from 1997. The original pressing of this Brazil 45 was the
