Conjunto Epoca de Ouro - Conjunto Epoca de Ouro (1975)

Last Saturday, I had the tough mission to announce to our community the passing of the Brazilian violao player Cesar Faria. In that time I got really disappointed to make a tribute with no music and this post can be considered a complement for last Saturday tribute. Cesar Faria was founder and member of Conjunto Epoca de Ouro until his passing and I'm now glad to show Loronixers an album by Conjunto Epoca de Ouro and also really amazed by the music they play at this record. If remaining albums by Conjunto Epoca de Ouro are such like this one, we need to track them all. Let's see.

This is Conjunto Epoca de Ouro - Conjunto Epoca de Ouro (1975), for Continental, featuring Cesar Faria and his Conjunto Epoca de Ouro on 12 renditions of classic Choro compositions by Paulinho da Viola, Jacob do Bandolim, Villa Lobos, Chico Buarque de Hollanda, among many others. A hint is necessary, use speakerphones to identify each instrument, hearing the individual performances of each Conjunto Epoca de Ouro member, it is a very nice experience. Personnel listing is credited bellow, including special guests participations. Tracks include:
