“…a pioneer when it comes to Brazilian music in global terms.”

One of the most famous stores in Brazil! Carlinhos Disco Sete, the owner, is a pioneer when it comes to Brazilian music in global terms. He was the main seller for European and Japanese collectors who went to Brazil in the late 1990s and early 2000s to buy records. His knowledge is impressive. Today, his son, Felipe, is in love with 7-inches and they have pushed the store even further in that direction.
