Cuban Soul - 18 Kilates is Cassiano's third studio album, released in 1976, and stands as a milestone in Brazilian soul music. It combines Brazilian rhythms with classic American soul elements, creating a unique fusion. Cassiano's smooth, soulful vocal style and the album's larger-than-life arrangements, reminiscent of Tim Maia's sound, give it a rich, deep feel. The standout track, "Onda," is a relaxing anthem evoking beach vibes that has become a DJ's favorite in recent years and also made it into several compilations. Remastered from the original tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl. This release is part of a new reissue series that will include many other outstanding Brazilian classics like Evinha's Cartão Postal or Gerson King Combo. Influenced by artists like Otis Redding, Eddie Kendricks, Stevie Wonder, and others, it combines Brazilian rhythms with classic American soul elements, creating a unique fusion. The album features nine tracks, with "A Lua e Eu" becoming a major commercial hit and the theme song for the soap opera "O Grito". This album has earned cult status over the years, securing its place as one of the most coveted Brazilian records of all time. Once incredibly rare and expensive, it's now at the top of every serious collector's wishlist. After not being available outside of Brazil for years, it's finally been reissued -- don't miss your chance to own this legendary piece of music history.
