Som Imaginario - Som Imaginario (1971)

This post is for some reasons out of Loronix "style", but this record and this band is so amazing and so influent that I think I have the obligation to introduce you to Som Imaginario - Som Imaginario (1971), for Odeon, as a matter of fact, another Mr. G. release and Mr. G. does not goes wrong easily.

Som Imaginario is considered a Jazz band, but others say that Som Imaginario is a progressive band. I'm a political bird; so let's say that Som Imaginario is Rock with Jazz and Progressive influences. They released three LPs; this is the second one with Wagner Tiso (piano), Luiz Alves (bass), Robertinho Silva (drums), Frederiko (guitar) and Tavito (guitar), all renowned musicians with successful careers after dismissing the band. Thanks Mr. G. for another fine release. Tracks include:

01 - Cenouras (Frederiko)
02 - Você Tem Que Saber (Chico Lessa / Márcio Borges)
03 - Gogó (O Alívio Rococó) (Wagner Tiso / Frederiko)
04 - Ascenso (Frederiko / Fernando Brant)
05 - Salvação Pela Macrobiótica (Frederiko)
06 - Uê (Chico Lessa / Márcio Borges)
07 - Xmas Blues (Frederiko)
08 - A Nova Estrela (Wagner Tiso / Frederiko)
