Sivuca - Eis Sivuca! (1956) '10

Caetano has a great sense of humor. He sent to zecalouro a LP recorded on CD with 24 tracks and the enigmatic message written by his own hand, "ate a faixa 14", "until track 14". I was fine with the contents from tracks 01 to 14, but what those remaining tracks were there at the same CD?

I had to address Caetano to get the answer and the answer is Sivuca - Eis Sivuca! (1956) 10', for Copacabana, a unlisted record on several discographies, even on Sivuca's website, probably unknown by many friends. It is amazing how Sivuca is a gifted musician; this LP was record 50 years ago and features Sivuca alone with his accordion, no accompaniment. Great performances, including an adaptation of of Tocatta Em Ré Menor (Johann Sebastian Bach) and other Brazilian tunes including Dorival Caymmi, Patapio Silva, Luperce Miranda and others. Thanks Caetano for another wonderful release. Tracks include:

01 - Tocatta Em Ré Menor (Johann Sebastian Bach)
02 - Vôo do Besouro (R. Korsakow)
03 - Primeiro Amor (Patápio Silva)
04 - Tenebroso (Ernesto Nazareth)
05 - Quando Me Lembro (Luperce Miranda)
06 - Lover (Rodgers / Hart)
07 - Corrupio (Guerra Peixe)
08 - Música Em Carrossel (Tradicional)
09 - Coração (Felinho)
10 - Morena Boca de Ouro (Ary Barroso)
