mental abstrato: pure essence

Francisco Espregueira

Back in time. In 2010 the São Paulo-based collective Mental Abstrato releases its first album: Pure Essence. With the Goon Trax stamp on it the record got great international reviews, becoming a classic of underground jazz hip hop, from Brazil to the world. Reissued in 2015 celebrating its 5 years, it was made available in a vinyl series limited to 300 copies, through French pressing and distribution on the Brazilian label Stalo Records. Pure Essence was followed by the 2019 acclaimed piece Uzoma.

With copies very hard to find in the market at reasonable prices, the digital version of this underground classic is now available via Bandcamp.
