Fafa Lemos, Seu Violino Com Conjunto - Uma Noite na Boate do Fafa (1958)

Hello, Good Night! Let's continue with that series of posts dedicated to a musical instrument. We started with Edu da Gaita and his harmonica, then we meet Poly and his Hawaian slide guitar, yesterday, we saw Chiquinho do Acordeon and his accordion and today we will show the violin, revisiting Fafa Lemos, an artist that already has several releases at Loronix.

This is Fafa Lemos, Seu Violino com Conjunto - Uma Noite na Boate do Fafa (1958), for RCA Victor. Fafa Lemos takes a repertoire of Brazilian sambas and some international songs on this release. Such like Waldir Calmon and his Arpege nightclub, Fafa Lemos had also his own nightclub at Copacabana and this record brings the atmosphere of that time with Fafa Lemos playing such like he performed on his nightclub. Tracks include:

01 - Whispering (J. Schonberger)
02 - Tu Solo Tu (F. Valdés Leal)
03 - Saudade Dela (Ataulfo Alves)
04 - Violino Triste (Paulo César)
05 - Usted (Gabriel Ruiz / Monis)
