Originally released in 1972, "O Mensageiro" is one of those hidden Brazilian gems that deserves to be rediscovered. While Trio Ternura's sought-after "A Gira" may attract most of the attention, this beautifully crafted single is every bit as irresistible, combining soulful vocals, infectious grooves and elegant Brazilian rhythms into a genuine dancefloor winner.

Blending MPB, soul and samba with lush vocal harmonies, the record radiates warmth and sophistication while remaining wonderfully catchy. Both sides capture the rich sound of early-'70s Brazilian popular music, making this an essential addition for DJs, collectors and anyone with a taste for rare Latin soul.

Reissued for the very first time and cut at 45 RPM for the best possible sound quality, this long-overdue release finally gives one of Trio Ternura's finest recordings the treatment it deserves.
