Trio Mocotó

Trio Mocotó – ‘Trio Mocotó’ (Mr Bongo) is Brazilian groove royalty: São Paulo’s samba‑rock pioneers mixing syncopated percussion with electric bass throb, guitar chank and buttery vocal blends. This reissue restores a crate‑diggers’ classic to easy reach, revealing how the trio’s swing prefigured both MPB funk excursions and modern nu‑Brazilian beats. The sequencing is pure sunshine, shifting from breezy choruses to instrumentals that lock into irresistible pocket. On fresh vinyl the percussion spectrum lights up—pandeiro snaps, agogô chimes, congas converse—turning any room into an instant roda.
