Di Melo - Di Melo

Di Melo’s debut album was originally released in 1975 and it’s a fusion of genuinely Brazilian rhythms with Funk, Soul and the right amount of psychedelia. Di Melo is one of the main Brazilian Soul Music artists, seen by many as talented and musically creative as his peers Jorge Ben and Tim Maia.

Di Melo went missing in action from 1976 to  1997, the year his song “A Vida em Seus Métodos Diz Calma” was on the collection “Blue Brazil” from Blue Note record label. The word on the streets was that he was dead until 2011, when the documentary called “Di  Melo, o Imorrível” (Di Melo, the immortal) was released.

In this 2021 edition the album contains the original 1975 insert with lyrics plus photos from personal family archives and for the first time the full credits with all the name of every single musician who took part, among them, Hermeto Pascoal.
