Zecalouro is proud to make this LP available at Loronix, meet Mario Albanese - Jequibau (1966), an important LP for Brazilian music.Mario Albanese is a pianist with a classical background and an important Brazilian music researcher. Being also a journalist, Mario Albanese had an active production of articles and reviews for several Brazilian newspapers, TV and Radio shows as well. With Cyro Pereira, which was his partner on most of his compositions, Mario Albanese invented the "Jequibau", an unique rhythm based on a 5/4 compass based and influenced by the Brazilian folklore.
The Jequibau rhythm had a moment of glory in Europe and United States acclaimed by other musicians and specialized press. However, Jequibau never got popularity and it is a cult piece for any serious vinyl collectors around the word.

Mario Albanese is a very important and original Brazilian composer. He was the firt to create Brazilian compostions in 5/4 tempo, something many people said it was impossible to be done. Unfortunately he is very much underrated although his great talent is something to be appreciated. By the way, his wonderful composition "Nós dois na tarde" has been recorded by jazz trumpeter Red Rodney for the long defunct Muse label.
