Severino Araujo - Orquestra Romantica de Severino Araujo - Teleco Teco em Cordas (1960)

I have been accumulating requests from friends to make the first post of one of the most famous Brazilian orchestra, Orquestra Tabajara, active since 1933. However, I never could find a record in good condition of out of print to show Loronixers. This post should partially fix this issue, a solo record from a Maestro that has his musical career with a tight connection with Orquestra Tabajara, which he is the leader since the foundation in 1933, Maestro Severino Araujo.

This is Severino Araujo - Orquestra Romantica de Severino Araujo - Teleco Teco em Cordas (1960), for Continental, a nice Severino Araujo album, probably unknown to the many fans of Orquestra Tabajara. Teleco Teco em Cordas blends Samba Rhythms with orchestra strings, all arranged by Severino Araujo.

If you have a Orquestra Tabajara LP to share if Loronixers, please get in touch, the Orquestra Tabajara was very important to Brazilian music throughout many decades.
