Album Description
Paebiru is an obscure Brazilian Psych concept album about the four elements (earth, air, fire, water) that was lost in a warehouse fire in 1974, causing it to become a massively sought-after lost classic. This recording of the collaboration between Brazilian artists Lula Cortes and Ze Ramalho is a wonderfully off-kilter record, full of fantastic hooks and strange tunes that range from full-on freak-outs to quiet pastorals. The entire range of 1970s hippie Brazilian culture is displayed in this record. It's experimental, but it's relentlessly driven towards fun. Mr. Bongo. 2008.

Old Gem from Brazil's Psych Folk Past April 1, 2006
Juan Mobili (Valley Cottage, NY USA)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Although finding South American classics in the US has never been easy-music sung in other languages have suffered from such fate forever-a trove of great music by Caetano, Nascimento and Gilberto Gil are available. The same has not been the case for a parallel sound that also stemmed from the Tropicalia years.
Along with the tremendous work from those listed above, the late sixties and early seventies produced-outside of Sao Paulo and Rio-a number of albums whose value was never properly recognized beyond a certain "in-the-know" crowd, in their native land.
People like Alceu Valenca, Paulo Bargunca and Geraldo Azevedo, to name a few, forged a style which powerfully combined the sound of Brazil's Northeastern music with the psychedelic vibes coming from UK's bands like Incredible String Band.
In the last few years, a couple of independent labels (particularly Argentina's obscure Mariposa label) have released a number of great old albums from such "movement." Among such forgotten gems, Paebiru ranks among the very best, and Lula Cortes and Ze Ramalho as two of its most important composers.
The music contained here is a Folk amalgam of the influences I've already cited. Meditative and pastoral at times, yet prone to explore fierce and dark corridors where Bahia's rhythms, lysergic fantasies and Eastern touches conspire to create a incomparable experience.
If you are adventurous enough to find great music in places that may not gain from ample recognition, this is one album to visit and spend some time with. Whether Devendra Banhart ever heard it or not, he can be considered a young son of Paebiru.
