Album Notes & Community Reviews

Under the sway of a mysterious extraterrestrial cult known as Cultura Racional, Brazilian soul legend Tim Maia released an unbelievably tight, fiercely devoted funk masterpiece. Although he later disowned it, the album is a wonderfully lush, intensely passionate progressive soul document, pairing remarkably rhythmic, deeply repetitive grooves with wildly conscious, highly religious occult lyricism.
