I think it is not necessary to introduce this album and this artist. I just need to inform this is another fantastic album being reposted by the mighty tcisalpino, keeping the funky pace from yesterday's Jorge Ben release. Actually, this album was scheduled for yesterday, and I could not make it due some transfer problems with tcisalpino, which is one of the most kind friends Loronix has, thanks friend. Som, Sangue e Raca was one of the first albums released at Loronix and I think everybody should support this upgrade. Let's see.This is Dom Salvador e Abolicao - Som, Sangue e Raca (1971), for Columbia, an anthological album, being the first release by Movimento Black Rio, a cultural movement born in the suburban area of Rio de Janeiro that had a great influence on further popular music landscape in Brazil. Many reviewers consider this album one of the best records released in 1971, not only in Brazil, but globally. Abolicao is the name of Dom Salvador band and it was more than a musical group, they ran such like a family, a community, something very usual in the early 70's. I don’t want to make you wait longer; I will let you now with Som, Sangue e Raca, solid from the start to end, good night. Tracks include:

Such a great record! Reissued on CD by Sony in Manaus, nr. 2-495859, the booklet has original front- and backcover, year of reissue unkown. No liner notes at all, what a missed chance, I guess there should be a lot to tell about this record.
ReplyDeleteBeto,
ReplyDeleteWere they?
The regulation applied to black soul bands but not to samba bands? Who controlled the adequacy of the shades of their skins to the kind of music they played? The military governments of the 70s and their infamous "Federal Department of Censorship" were responsible for many misjudged decisions (to put it mildly) regarding music and musicians, but are you sure this one is a historical fact? Can you substantiate it by a quotation or a reference?
I never thought that one would see the day would come when one finds them self so poor and yet so rich, thanks for this I sold my records and you just brought back so much happy memories.. what a world thanks
ReplyDeleteYes, I do enjoy, my friend. Great loronix-post. Thanks alot!
ReplyDeleteThis album is brilliant, and Dom Salvador is one of the nicest guys in the world (he lives here in NY, and he even came to my house once!). Note a young Oberdan Magalhaes among the band members on that beatiful cover......
