"Music making life better. It's a record that reminds you why you fell in love with Brazilian music in the first place. If only there were more like it." Songlines **** (TOP OF THE WORLD ALBUM)

"Evokes the perfect spaced out acid-bossa vibe...there's a youthful pulse to this dreamy time warp of layered guitars and voices and feather-light rhythm."  The Daily Telegraph ****

"An amazing, deep Brazilian record from Mauricio & Nana...this new album is amazing!" Gilles Peterson 

"Upside Down conveys a warm atmosphere on a really good album." Waxpoetics


Brazilian greats Mauricio Maestro and Nana Vasconcelos finally reconnect on the second part of their five decade psychedelic folk trilogy. Following Visions of Dawn --the 1976 acid-folk lost classic -- Upside Down is a special new recording that stirs up a time when people dared to make liberated records. Nana and guest vocalist Kay Lyra -- completing the modern folk trio -- combine floating harmonies & delicate psychedelia. Maestro's moving compositions melt together hypnotising strings with his darting guitar and wonderfully languid vocals. The master of percussion Nana Vasconcelos brings an endless concoction of exotic instrumentation to stirring life as mind-bending vocals move in and out of focus. 

Together at the center of the underground '60s tropicalia and darker afro-samba jazz movements (rising against a repressive Brazilian military regime) to the free '70s Brazilian acid-folk (that flourished in North American and European exile) Maestro and Vasconcelos have created eleven tracks that stir up this time, but in the backdrop of a liberated, prosperous Brazil. Recorded in 2010 the pair combined Maestro's classic and new compositions with modern folk ideas to outshine many current impressionists. Inspired by the success of 'Visions Of Dawn' Joe Davis encouraged Maestro and Nana to return to the studio to complete the long-time coming follow up.
