Paêbirú is an album by Brazilian artists Lula Côrtes and Zé Ramalho. The album was originally released in 1975 and reissued in 2005 on Shadoks Music and later on by Mr. Bongo UK, in a very high quality Vinyl and CD Edition.
Allegedly, almost all of the original copies of the album were destroyed in a river flood, making it incredibly hard to find.[4][5] A copy of this LP may worth R$15.000,00 (about US$7,500.00)[6] Zé Ramalho doesn't consider it as a work by him, so much that he is celebrating 35 years of career in 2012 (which marks 35 years of the release of his first solo album), and not in 2010.[6] Since its reissue, it has been widely acknowledged as a lost gem of the Brazilianpsychedelic movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
