Abaet, a vocal trio from Bahia, made a remarkable debut with masterfully crafted jazz-funk sambas, at a time when Bahian musicians were true masters of the genre. There’s virtually no information about the band, apart from the music itself, which seems to be limited to two releases: a single and that much-loved 1977 self- titled album, now a cult classic. A collection of killer tunes, funky samba, synthesizer sounds and free rhythms with a North Brazilian flavor. The band also wrote songs for Clara Nunes and Elza Soares in the ’70s. Mixed by Waldir Lombardo Pinheiro.
