Tito Madi - Romance (1961)

And the last post goes to... Tito Madi - Romance (1961). Why zecalouro is saying that? Easy, as day passes, it has been really hard to decide the last post. Today, the choices were all great, solid records from end to end, but Tito Madi was selected.

Actually, I was planning the first Tito Madi LP, A Saudade Mata a Gente (1958), but the cover available here is not on a good resolution, great disappointment. Anyway you will have a lot to discover in Romance, a nice LP with Maestro Lyrio Panicali helping Tito with orchestra and chorus arrangements. A truly beautiful record that I hope you like. If you have the cover artwork of A Saudade Mata a Gente, feel free to share with us; it is another great Tito Madi LP. Tracks include:

01 - A Menina Sonha Azul (Tito Madi)
02 - A Canção da Esperança (Luis Arruda Paes / Ribeiro Filho)
03 - Ternura Antiga (Dolores Duran / Ribamar)
04 - Malagueña (Elpídio Ramirez / Pedro Galindo)
05 - Cansaço (Ruy Barros)
06 - Pedrinhas de Cor (Armando Nunes / Cícero Nunes)
07 - Ai de Mim (Capiba)
08 - Amor Em Pedaços (Gilberto Panicali / Fernando César)
09 - Nunca Me Esqueça (Never Forget Me) (D. Powell / Vrs. Tito Madi)
10 - Mi Dicha Lejana (E. Ayala Baez)
11 - A Voz dos Sinos (Othon Russo / Nazareno de Brito)
12 - Pouca Duração (Pacífico Mascarenhas)
