Dolores Duran - A Musica de Dolores Duran (1959)

zecalouro is trying to understand this Brazilian singer for more than a few days. Dolores Duran. zecalouro is shamed with his total ignorance about this amazing artist, as a matter of fact, another recommendation of zecalouro's mom that he is bringing to Loronix.

Dolores Duran was a meteor; she started her professional career at the age of 10, at Ary Barroso Calouros em Desfile radio show. Two years later, with the passing of her father, Dolores started singing on the radio and musical shows using false identities to deceive the authorities.

From this fast start to the release of her first album, Dolores developed her talent as composer, something that would be recognized only after her passing. Believe me, Dolores was an active composer, making a partnership with Antonio Carlos Jobim on several songs. She died very early at the age of 29 from a heart attack after a presentation on Little Club nightclub.

zecalouro is trying to manage if Dolores was a great singer or a great composer, since as more as zecalouro excavates her work, the more zecalouro gets surprised to discover that several Brazilian classics were composed by Dolores in partnership of other renowned composers.

Dolores LPs are very hard to find. zecalouro could not resist to share the only record available so far on his ark, not a solo LP, Dolores has some guests - Marisa, Roberto Audi, Agnaldo Rayol and Morgana – singing some tracks, as follows:
