Brazilian greats Mauricio Maestro and Nana Vasconcelos finally reconnect on the second part of their five decade psychedelic folk trilogy. Following on from Visions of Dawn, the 1976 acid-folk lost classic Upside Down stirs up a time when people dared to make remarkable liberated records like this.

Nana and guest vocalist Kay Lyra who completes the present day folk trio combine floating harmonies and delicate string-led psychedelia. Maestro's moving compositions melt together hypnotising strings with his own darting acoustic guitar and 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.
