An ad from Brazil for Tim Maia’s first LP and a stream of two of his classic lps – Racional Vol 1 + 2.
I recently returned from a trip to Brazil (with Lee Ranaldo and the Dust) and his LPs are difficult to find there however , I did pick up a few of his late 70’s albums on CD. We recommend that you start with the link below and purchase the excellent Tim Maia anthology ‘The Existential Soul of Tim Maia’ on Luaka Bop

Hi Steve,
You should check out his first LP, released on 1970. Like many brazilian artists, it just features his name. There is some info on portuguese here: http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Maia_(%C3%A1lbum)
You can listen to it here: http://grooveshark.com/#!/album/1970/7896065
It features songs as strong as the two Racional albums. A third Racional volume was released some years ago, only with lost songs and leftovers. I highly recommend you to check out everything he did from 1970 until 1977.
I was the one talking with you about Made in USA outside SESC Pompéia last week. Thanks for the concert and the chatting!
And if you dig Tim, you’ll love Jorge Ben! A Tábua de Esmeralda is a must have album. Here’s a link: http://grooveshark.com/#!/album/A+T+bua+De+Esmeralda/691173
