Ademilde Fonseca - Choros Famosos (1960)

This is to address a very old request made by Loronixers since the beginning, an album by Ademilde Fonseca, notably the best Brazilian interpreter of Chorinhos, which are well-known instrumental Choros with lyrics. Actually, this is something that I learned with Loronix, the difference between Choro and Chorinho. Choro does not have lyrics; Choro is instrumental music, while Chorinhos are well-known Choros with Lyrics. Let's see.

This is Ademilde Fonseca - Choros Famosos (1960), for Philips, featuring a very well selected repertoire of Choros performed by Ademilde Fonseca. I think it will be very nice to hear how Ademilde Fonseca sings classics like Tico-Tico no Fuba, Apanhei-te Cavaquinho, Carinhoso, Delicado and several other Choro standards. Choro Famosos has Vadico as musical director. I urge Loronixers to feedback this release, since it is the first in the style. Tracks include:

01 - Tico-tico no fubá (Eurico Barreiros / Zequinha de Abreu)
02 - Sonhando (K-Ximbinho)
03 - Dinorah (B.Lacerda / Viuva Cacilda L. Porto)
04 - Apanhei-te cavaquinho (B.Lacerda / D.Oliveira / Ernesto Nazareth)
05 - Pedacinhos do céu (Miguel Lima / Waldir Azevedo)
06 - Sonoroso (Del Loro / K-Ximbinho)
07 - Flor do abacate (Felippe Tedesco / Álvaro Sandim)
08 - O que vier eu traço (Zé Maria / Alvaiade)
09 - Comigo é assim (José Menezes / Luiz Bittencourt)
10 - Carinhoso (Pixinguinha / João de Barro)
11 - Doce melodia (Abel Ferreira / Luiz Antônio)
12 - Delicado (Ary Vieira / Waldir Azevedo)
