Rubel - Pearl

Mr Bongo proudly presents the very first worldwide vinyl and CD release of Rubel’s debut album, Pearl.

Originally self-released on YouTube in 2013, the album quietly became a huge hit in Brazil, with the lead single and accompanying video for “Quando Bate Aquela Saudade” having amassed more than 85 million views to date.

Pearl laid the foundation for Rubel’s path to greatness — offering an early glimpse of the brilliance of a contemporary troubadour and ever-evolving Brazilian artist who skillfully blends classic and modern influences.

Combining MPB, folk, pop, and indie, Pearl captures Rubel at his most pure and personal.
