Baden Powell - E de Lei (1972)

Every Baden Powell album is a very solid listening experience and some - in my humble opinion - are truly masterpieces. E de Lei (1972), follows in the second case, I have no doubt this is one of the nicest Baden Powell albums I have heard so far. It is the last Baden Powell record with his favorite singer, Janine de Valeyne, and perhaps Baden Powell knew it, since he gives a lot of space to Janine de Valeyne very sophisticated vocals. Baden Powell delivers a great performance and I strongly recommend that everybody takes this album as a something really special. Let's see.

This is Baden Powell - E de Lei (1972), for Philips, presented here by the first Brazilian vinyl pressing. The session features a quartet with Baden Powell violao, bass, percussion and drums. This is the kind of release that explains by itself, flawless music and flawless performance by one of the greatest Brazilian musicians ever. Tracks include:
