Paul Mauriat - Brasil Exclusivamente Vol. 2 (2026) [Hi-Res]

On Brasil Exclusivamente Vol. 2, Paul Mauriat deepens his love affair with Brazilian music, delivering a collection that showcases his genuine passion for the country's rich musical landscape. Released in 1978 as the follow-up to the first volume, the album finds the French maestro applying his signature elegant touch to a sophisticated selection of Brazilian compositions—from Caetano Veloso and Baden Powell to Ivan Lins and Antonio Carlos & Jocafi. The result is a warm, sun-drenched listening experience where samba percussion, light bossa rhythms, and subtle funk grooves blend seamlessly with Mauriat's lush orchestral arrangements. Tracks like "Odara," "Amigo," and "Foi Assim" glide with effortless grace, capturing a perfect balance between the rhythmic pulse of Brazil and the refined Gallic sensibility that defined Mauriat's sound. Recorded specifically for the Brazilian market where the maestro enjoyed immense popularity, this album stands as a testament to his deep appreciation for the country's music—a love letter to Brazil wrapped in strings, percussion, and impeccable craft.
