Maria Rita
Brasileira (LP) [ Mr Bongo / LP - released 15/Mar/2024 ] Maria Rita is a musical pioneer that was ahead of her time. On first hearing her song, 'Cântico Brasileiro No.3 (Kamaiurá)', we thought it sounded like a contemporary remix that an artist such as Carl Craig could have produced. In fact, it came out... |
The Medium Wave Band
So Tender / Games (Instrumental) (7") [ Mr Bongo / 7in - released 29/Nov/2024 ] Sourcing rare records to reissue can involve meticulous research and years of digging, but then occasionally, Lady Luck smiles upon you.

Nas
Made You Look (7") [ Mr Bongo / 7in - released 20/Nov/2020 ] 'Made You Look' was a shot in the arm for Nas at a time when he'd shed some of his core, street fanbase.

Positive K
I Got A Man (7") [ Mr Bongo / 7in - released 16/Oct/2020 ] Positive K was no stranger to unrequited love. A few years before this, his biggest hit, dropped, he'd tried to ply his labelmate MC Lyte with chat-up lines on the First Priority gem 'I'm Not Havin' It' - with little luck. Fast forward to the... |
