After several gentle requests, zecalouro presents Baden Powell and the Afro Sambas. The Afro Sambas was originally recorded in 1966, while this one was recorded by Baden and Quarteto em Cy without Vinicius de Moraes in 1990.Eight of the eleven compositions are the same of the original one, while two are also compostions of Baden and Vinicius from the same period and the opening was made by Baden alone particularly for this recording.
This album uses all the sound technology available on 90's so it sounds like new. The 66 album was recorded on a 2 channel studio, and this means a huge difference in sound quality. Baden tried to keep this version as similar as possible as to the 1966 version.
There is another curiosity; the evangelic temples and their followers do not tolerate the Brazilian Afro Religion. Later in his life, Baden had converted himself to an evangelic, changing all Afro citations to a more Christian oriented approach during live presentations.
Now available at Biscoito Fino.
Esses Afro Sambas são mágicos. Todo mundo os quer rs rs. Mônica Salmaso não resistiu e os gravou em seus disco com Paulo Bellinati (http://tinyurl.com/yhhv6o). Virgínia Rodrigues com um sotaque fortemente afro também lançou Mares Profundos (http://tinyurl.com/y9hh3h). Agora vou ter a oportunidade de conhecer e ouvir os acordes de um dos pais da criação do gênero. Aliás, pode ser considerado um gênero? Saravá!
ReplyDeletethanks!
ReplyDeleteDrummer Zeca; are you able to post this outstanding album in FLAC files? It would be an enormous and proper tribute to this seminal artist.
ReplyDeleteThank you anyway for sharing this.

Lieutenant Ney, I would like very much to make it on FLAC and enhanced cover scans, but I don't have this album and I don't have hope to find it someday.
ReplyDeleteRest assured that as soon as I get this one, it will be made on FLAC.
Cheers, zeca
