We have to be honest, we don't know much about the mysterious Brazilian artist, Guto. We stumbled upon his 'Para Viver' album on Arlequi Records from 1979, by chance, during a digging trip to São Paulo. Once the needle dropped, we were hooked by 'Trânsito Livre', a charming MPB number with cool chorus changes and all-round soothing vibes. Light and breezy, and all the better for it. Tony Nunes' 'Por Favor' shifts things up a few gears. It's a racing Hammond organ and wah-wah guitar-led funky groover. At just over two minutes long, 'Por Favor' doesn't mess about. It's pure energy firing on all cylinders. It was originally released in 1973 on Odeon Records, but the track has more of a 60s psyche-Mod-RnB feel and sensibility to it.
