Masayoshi Takanaka - Brasilian Skies
Masayoshi Takanaka - Brasilian Skies
Japan Original Pressing.
Exceptionally clean copy with no noticeable foxing or staining.
An increasingly elusive 1978 Takanaka original — Brazilian rhythms, sun-drenched fusion and irresistible grooves, including the killer “Disco B.”
Recorded across Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles and Japan, Brasilian Skies captures Masayoshi Takanaka at one of his most colorful and adventurous peaks. Brazilian musicians bring authentic samba and Latin rhythm into his bright fusion sound, while Ryuichi Sakamoto also appears on keyboards and strings.
From the joyous “Beleza Pula” and breezy title track to the wonderfully eccentric “Star Wars Samba,” the album is packed with character — but “Disco B” is the real killer, locking into a deep, irresistible tropical-funk groove.
One of Takanaka’s essential ’70s albums, and an original Japanese copy that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in clean condition.

We visually inspect every record, and we clean each one before shipping (play-testing when needed). Even new or great-looking vinyl—especially some Japanese pressings—can have light background noise. We grade carefully by eye and ear, but it’s still a human call, so please check the notes before buying.
