Bola Sete - O Extraordinario Bola Sete (1962)

Hello, good evening! I thought I knew something about Brazilian popular music before opening Loronix, but when I met respected collectors such like Caetano Rodrigues and Jorge Mello, I realized I was totally ignorant about several things. Jorge Mello provides the show today, showing this truly nice Bola Sete LP recorded for Odeon in 1962 featuring an organist, not a standard musician, but the mighty Luiz Eça dueling with Bola Sete on electric organ, an unusual instrument for Luiz Eça. Let’s see.

This is Bola Sete – O Extraordinario Bola Sete (1962), for Odeon, featuring Luiz Eca at organ in seven tracks. I think you should take this one for a hearing. These early Bola Sete LPs released by Odeon never had a chance to reach the CD age and it is not every day you have the chance to hear Luiz Eca playing organ. Bola Sete is not alone at the remaining five tracks, he has the accompaniment of another unusual formation, three piston players. Unfortunately, remaining musicians in this session were not credited by Odeon. Tracks include:
