Recorded in Paris, in 1976, Visions of Dawn is the stunning 'lost' Brazilian acid-folk masterpiece - First uncovered and released in 2009, the record transfxed Brazilian music lovers and fans of otherworldly psych-folk alike

Led by the sharp lyrics and gorgeous, voice of a young Joyce Moreno, the trio is completed by the late great Brazilian percussion legend Nana Vasconcelos, and master arranger, producer and bassist Mauricio Maestro.These beautiful recordings offer a unique opportunity to sit in on the original sessions of tracks that would later become Brazilian cult-classics, like swinging samba-jazz opener 'Banana' and 'Clareana', a lullaby named after Joyce's daughters Clara and Ana. The trippiest moments come from 'Jardim Dos Deuces' (one of Frank Ocean's favourite tracks of all time) and the orgasmic album closer 'Chegeda'.

Tracks: Banana / Clareana / Metralhadeira / Nacional Kid / Tudo Bonito / Memorias Do Porvir/ part2 Visoes Do Amanhecer / Carnavalzinho (Little Carnaval) / Jardim Dos Deuses / Chegada
