The sun is rising for the Portuguese label Mad About Records. With »Nossa Imaginação« the imprint releases Don Beto’s first and only album. Never heard? Me too. There is no information about Don Beto. On Google you can find a Pastelería in Paraguay with the same name, via Discogs you can see a young curly head. Otherwise – nothing! In 1978, when the record first appears, cocktails shine under disco balls. Don Beto comes from Uruguay, according to Mad About. As a young man he went to Brazil and cleaned up with »Nossa Imaginação« under the sugar loaf. He knew the right people for that. His songs are produced by Lincoln Olivetti – a mixture of hit songs (»Todos Os Caminhos«), soul (»Não Quero Mais«) and silk pants beach parties (»Curtindo O Silêncio«). It works. The golden ratio between happy sound, a Brazilian Eros Ramazzotti and confetti samba slithers from the late seventies to the dinner playlists of the present. For those who have already tasted the fruit juices with Marcos Valle, “Nossa Imaginação” is the dessert wine in the house bar. A rush for summer longing, oiling the hips and satisfying the mind.
