Detailed Description Containing Key Facts: This Brazilian single from 1970 features Toni Tornado, a powerful vocalist and icon of Brazilian Black music, alongside the instrumental group Som Três. "O Journaleiro" (The Newspaper Seller) by Toni Tornado is a vibrant and socially conscious track, blending deep funk and soul rhythms with samba elements, showcasing Tornado's dynamic vocal delivery. It's a classic example of the emerging 'Black Rio' sound, fusing American funk with Brazilian musical traditions. The B-side, "Homenagem A Mongo" (Homage to Mongo), likely by Som Três, would be an instrumental track, a tribute to a figure like Mongo Santamaría, demonstrating a Latin jazz or bossa nova influence, possibly with a funky edge, highlighting the rich musical tapestry of Brazil at the time.
