Lafayette - Lafayette Apresenta Dina Lucia (1965)

Lafayette is a big challenge to zecalouro, just in terms of finding available information to present to my dear friends at Loronix. This post is in respect of many friends that have been crying for Lafayette since Loronix was born.

Lafayette is considered the "official organist" of a cultural movement born in the 60's known as Jovem Guarda and lead by the acclaimed Brazilian singer Roberto Carlos. Using a Hammond B-3, Lafayette can be listened on several Roberto Carlos LPs, including the top hit "Quero que va Tudo para o Inferno".

This is Lafayette debut LP, Lafayette Apresenta Dina Lucia (1965), his wife. Since then, Lafayette recorded more than 30 LPs to CBS, most of them based on instrumental versions of successful commercial songs of the time.

That's the way it is! zecalouro had some personal affairs with Lafayette as musician in the 80's, but this is only curiosities of a past that should be kept sleeping in the bottom on zecalouro's cage.
