Cassiano's 'Cuban Soul - 18 Kilates', released in 1976, is a milestone in Brazilian soul music. It fuses Brazilian rhythms with classic American soul, creating a unique blend. Cassiano's smooth, soulful vocals and grand arrangements, similar to Tim Maia's sound, give the album a rich and deep feel. The standout track 'Onda' is a relaxing beach anthem, a DJ favorite and part of many compilations. Over the years, this album has gained cult status and is a must - have for serious collectors. Once rare and costly, it's now at the top of collectors' wishlists. This is a 180g black vinyl pressing (note: actual color and packaging may differ from the mock - up). The original release was in 1976, and it's re - issued by Vampi Soul in 2025. All pre - orders come with Turntable Lab stickers. When pre - ordering, place separate orders for additional items to avoid delays. Ship dates are estimates and subject to change, and we'll contact you in case of a significant delay.
Using this vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on your turntable, lower the needle gently onto the groove, and enjoy the soulful music.

Avoid bending or scratching the vinyl. If you notice any dust on the record, use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it before playing. Remember, the actual pressing color and packaging might differ from the mock - up photo, so don't be surprised if it looks a bit different. Also, keep in mind the pre - order policy: place separate orders for additional items to avoid delays, and be aware that ship dates are just estimates.
