Silvio Cesar - Som e Palavras (1978)

Let's get back to a Brazilian singer that is not released for a long time, this is Silvio Cesar - Som e Palavras (1977), for RCA, another great and unique Mr. G contribution, our great Loronixer and an worldwide authority on Brazilian music from the 70's.

Mr. G. seems to be like a planet around a star, he run through cycles, making his wonderful contributions, disappearing for a while and then returning for another session and so on. Mr. G did a nice job this time, this is a wonderful LP that is probably unknown by many Loronixers and has a group of first class musicians on the set, including Durval Ferreira, Ed. Maciel, Ed. Lincoln, Helio Delmiro, Paulo Moura and many others.

I have been wondering on this modern CD times of today if it is viable to put on a set such a wonderful team, it is hard to find a recent release bringing together such group. I will once again let you with tracks and personnel for this nice Silvio Cesar release.
