Tim Maia: Ela Partiu

Tim Maia is Brazil's soul godfather, having introduced the genre into the cultural soundscape in the 70's. Today's Top Tune is a sample from the larger than life character. His personal story is the stuff of legend, with five marriages, several jail sentences and his participation in a spacey cult religion at the height of his career. The track is "Ela Partiu," from Tim Maia: Psychedelic World Classics 4.
