According to the disc guide \"Disco Collection: Rare Groove\" (Shinko Music Entertainment Co., Ltd.), These releases came from a label Chin Maiya founded during his time as a follower of the hippie-like cult group CULTURA RACIONAL, which preached that \"human ancestors came from outer space and will eventually return to it.\" After leaving the cult, Chin Maiya himself reportedly smashed all remaining stock, making these releases notoriously rare.\n\n\n\n\n\nOn the other hand, its content is quintessentially Chin Maiya: a fusion of US black music sensibilities and Brazilian soulfulness. Tracks like the opening \"Que Beleza\" and the extended mid-tempo funk \"Rational Culture\" (the last track on Side B) showcase a perfect blend of composition, arrangement, and performance, making this one of the finest works in Chin Maiya's career. Copies in pristine condition are extremely hard to find, and even decent copies easily fetch over USD100, making this a hugely popular Brazilian funk record.\n\n\n\n(From the manufacturer's information)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sillitoe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52291576299809,"sku":"602561733115","price":32.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/602561733115.jpg?v=1770059191","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ch\/products\/602561733115","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
