Dario Lopes - Guitarra em Nova Dimensao (1968)

Hello, good evening! I'm really proud to make available this album, the debut LP of a special musician that I had the chance to meet for the fist time today by a phone call. This is Dario Lopes, maestro, arranger, producer, guitarist, being also an important artist at TV Globo for more than thirty years as musician, composer and producer in charge of several TV Shows, such like: Roberto Carlos Especial, Fantastico, Chico Anysio Show, Os Trapalhoes, Video Show among many others. It is really nice when we have the chance to meet such important artist before showing one of his albums.

I would like to mention the great help given by Marcia Calmon and Tranka, which is the bassist of this album, by kindly sending Dario Lopes contact information. I will be with Dario tomorrow at his place, he lives close to me at Leme, Rio de Janeiro and my copy of Guitarra em Nova Dimensao will be my Christmas gift to our new friend Dario Lopes.

This is Dario - Guitarra em Nova Dimensao (1968), for Multisound, featuring Dario Lopes guitar, violao and viola in all tracks and the special participation of the legendary Tony Tornado at vocals and percussion. I had a lot of fun with Guitarra em Nova Dimensao this week, including zecalouro, now addicted with Dario Lopes instrumental rock renditions of a Brazilian repertoire based on Bossa Nova and international standards.
