Quinteto Violado - Berra Boi (1973)

Quinteto Violado is an important Brazilian group that never had an adequate approach at Loronix. Only one album is so far available, which is Quinteto Violado self-titled debut LP (1972), perhaps their most successful album. After more than a year, I received in an interval of a couple of weeks, the second and the third Quinteto Violado albums. Taking advantage of a chronological approach, I'm presenting the second one, kindly sent by moos. The third was courtesy by JOAO-SP, saved for a later opportunity in the forthcoming weeks. Let's see moos contribution.

This is Quinteto Violado - Berra Boi (1973), for Philips. Quinteto Violado music brings elements of the Brazilian Northeast region and folklore, blended with elements of the pop culture from the big cities. Their recording career spans more than 30 years with approximately 40 albums recorded in Brazil and overseas. It is amazing that moos found this one on a vinyl fair in Amsterdam, now I'm happy that he came back home again, at least virtually. Tracks include:
