Noriel Vilela - Eis o Ome (1968)

Refer, one of the powerful Loronix friends, sent me an email a couple of weeks ago with a very useful clarification about Samba Rock. "Samba Rock is not a musical genre, it is only a way of dancing any kind of music with swing (Balanco). period.

On top of this, Refer gave me a very useful link for anyone who might be interested on understanding a little bit more about Samba Rock, the website of Clube do Balanco at http://clubedobalanco.uol.com.br. There is an English version that you should try. Take a look at the video section and watch a Samba Rock documentary and a nice dancing tutorial.

This is the only record released by one of the Brazilian Samba Rock legends, Noriel Vilela - Eis o Ome (1968). Noriel was member of the Samba vocal group Cantores de Ebano. After releasing this record, Noriel has passed, for reasons that zecalouro could not check. This is a cool LP that zecalouro bets that any Loronixer will have a guaranteed entertainment. Tracks include:

01 - Promessado (Carlos Pedro)
02 - Saravando Xangô (Avarese / Edenal Rodrigues)
03 - Só o Ôme (Edenal Rodrigues)
04 - Meu Caboclo Não Deixa (Avarese / Edenal Rodrigues)
