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.
