Mr Bongo is proud to present a 10th anniversary reissue of O Terno's contemporary Brazilian classic Melhor do Que Parece from 2016
Ranked by Rolling Stone Brazil as one of the best releases of 2016, it is a delicate blend of Tropicalia- inspired, psychedelic rock and indie, rich in '60s and '70s influences, that feels as relevant and fresh now as it did 10 years ago. O Terno is made up of three titans from the current Brazilian independent scene: Tim Bernardes on vocals and guitar, Guilherme d'Almeida on bass and Gabriel Basile on drums. Each has gone on to forge themselves as influential members in the Brazilian scene in their solo projects and collaborations with other artists since O Terno went on hiatus in 2024.
Bernardes has since become a musical ambassador outside of Brazil, releasing two Latin Grammy nominated solo albums, collaborating with artists ranging from Gal Costa to Fleet Foxes, Maria Bethania to Jards Macale, and establishing himself among the musicians connected to the 1970s scene. Basile has worked closely with Sessa and features on records by SOYUZ, anaiis, Bruno Berle and more.
Both Basile and Guilherme also form part of the group Grand Bazaar, a dance- orientated outfit drawing on gypsy, Balkan, Mediterranean and Brazilian influences.
There are no wasted moments on Melhor do Que Parece; it feels almost like a best-of album and is rightly viewed as a definitive work. Here at Mr Bongo we feel its greatness deserves a much wider global audience to lean in and enjoy its brilliance.
