Eight Gigs: Scott S and Flower Vato

There was a vibrant music scene in Brazil in the 1970s that most folks in the states are unaware of. Fortunately for us, we are home to Scott Soriano's SS Records (and imprint Sol Re Sol). He is re-issuing two forgotten gems: Sidney Miller's Linguas De Fogo (1974) and Alceu Valença's Molhado de Suor (1974). These artists mixed bossa nova, tropicalia and psychedelic rock—fantastic records for music lovers of all genres. Soriano (Scott S) and Larry Rodriguez (Flower Vato, pictured) will be celebrating the release of these releases on Wednesday at Insight Coffee by spinning some of their tunes, as well as other obscure Brazilian tunes. 1901 Eighth Street, www.s-srecords.com.
