CASSIANO - Cuban Soul - 18 Kilates (Reissue) - LP - 180g Vinyl [APR 11]

LP - 180g Black Vinyl (2025 Reissue)

Cuban Soul-18 Kilates is Cassiano's third studio album, released in 1976, and stands as a milestone in Brazilian soul music. It combines Brazilian rhythms with classic American soul elements, creating a unique fusion.  Cassiano's smooth, soulful vocal style and the album’s larger-than-life arrangements, reminiscent of Tim Maia's sound, give it a rich, deep feel. The standout track, ‘Onda,’ is a relaxing anthem evoking beach vibes that has become a DJ’s favourite in recent years and also made it into several compilations.  

Cuban Soul-18 Kilates has earned cult status over the years, securing its place as one of the most coveted Brazilian records of all time. Remastered from the original tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl. This release is part of a new reissue series that will include many other outstanding Brazilian classics like Evinha “Cartão Postal” or Gerson King Combo.
