Chico Buarque - Historia da Musica Popular Brasileira - Serie Grandes Compositores (1982)

Hello, Good Evening! Brazilian popular music on recording will not be complete if you don't mention this fantastic initiative. Historia da Musica Popular Brasileira - Serie Grandes Compositores is a series of 50 albums released in 1982 and 1983 by Editora Abril portraying Brazilian composers on each edition and special releases dedicated to styles, such as: Samba and Choro.

I can remember how the siries was commercialized, as far as I know, it was not made available on records stores, but in newspapers stands. Actually, each edition can be considered as a magazine with a LP inside. I remember this time. It was a party at home. Twice a month we had a new edition and I could complete the whole series. Unfortunately, I lost all the albums and the only survivor is this one. I remember, each volume had color pictures, reviews, bios and music, very well produced. I was even thinking about a jointly effort to gather the whole series. Let's see.

This is Chico Buarque - Historia da Musica Popular Brasileira - Serie Grandes Compositores (1982), featuring a compilation of Chico Buarque repertoire performed by Chico Buarque and others, such as Nara Leao, Caetano Veloso, MPB-4, Milton Nascimento, Simone and Gal Costa. Tracks include:
