Daniel Salinas – Atlantis [LP]

‘Atlantis’ is a smouldering jazz-funk, cinematic excursion courtesy of the Brazilian maestro, Daniel Salinas. A conductor, pianist, arranger, and producer, he has worked across several genres within Brazil’s rich musical tapestry, including the Beatles-inspired Jovem Guarda movement, jazz-funk, and MPB to name just a few. He featured on records by Franco, Clia, Perfume Azul Do Sol, Wilson Simonal, Juca Chaves and a whole host of Brazilian greats. Released in 1973 on Top Tape Records, ‘Atlantis’, features one of Salinas’ best-known recordings (at least in Europe), his much-loved interpretation of ‘Also Sprach Zarathustra’ entitled ‘Straussmania’. It was inspired by Eumir Deodato’s global hit of the same year and went on to be adopted by various scenes becoming a classic within rare groove circles as well as amongst breaks and beats diggers.
