Tamba 4 - Samba Blim (1968)

This album is well known by many friends of zecalouro and it is so wonderful that deserves a place at Loronix. Samba Blim was recorded during the time Tamba Trio was expanded to a quartet - that's why they change from Tamba Trio to Tamba 4. The first out of two albums they made in the US for A&M.

As zecalouro explained on an earlier post, Tamba Trio was Luiz Eça (piano), Bebeto (bass) and Helcio Milito (drums) and the expanded Tamba 4 was Luiz Eça and Bebeto plus Dorio Ferreira (bass) and Ohana (drums).

Unfortunately both albums for A&M - Samba Blim and We and the Sea - failed commercially. Amazing, since Samba Blim is an essential masterpiece.

O que é isso, pessoal! Valeu!

Esse disco é muito bom, todos acham esse disco bom demais. Entretanto, ele é bastante criticado pela imprensa especializada, AMG, etc.

Já o primeiro pela A&M é coberto de glórias, se chama We and the Sea. Nunca tive a chance de ouvir, infelizmente.

Tamba 4 contaba con uno de los músicos más extraordinarios y subestimados ha a dado el Brasil; me refiero al talentoso, Luiz Eca. "Samba Blim" (Tamanco no samba)es una joya del arte brasileño en cuarteto y cuerdas. Vaya desde aquí mi más sincera admiración por la obra del ya fallecido Luiz Eca y un saludo a la tierra más bella y mestiza .
