Baden Powell - Apaixonado (1973)

Baden Powell posts are not easy. They are really hard to be described. Baden Powell universe is so rich and complex; each release is different from the other on several aspects. Baden Powell music is amazing a guaranteed listening pleasure.

Baden Powell - Apaixonado (1973), follows Estudos, both are considered as part of Baden experimental phase with a lot of improvisation. Banden is backed up here by a septet. This amazing psycho cover with Baden growing inside a plant with a guitar flying on top is also great. I could not find its creator, which is probably a German artist since this LP was released by the German label MPS Records, during Baden years in Germany. Tracks include ten Baden compositions:

1. Casa Velha (Baden Powell)
2. Alcântara (Baden Powell)
3. Igarapé (Baden Powell)
4. Estórias de Alcântara (Baden Powell)
5. Waltzing (Baden Powell)
6. Lembranças (Baden Powell)
7. Abstrato (Baden Powell)
8. As Flores (Baden Powell)
9. Balantofe (Baden Powell)
10. Brisa do Mar (Baden Powell)
