Triste Janero - Meet Triste Janero (1968) USA Bossa Nova

zecalouro is felling miserable again today with this hard flu he got. He woke up fine this morning but had the stupid idea to take his recumbent to meet some friends at Aterro do Flamengo. In spite the effort to pedal almost 10 kilometers, zecalouro got a heavy shower when coming back to his cage. Stupid bird that would be resting quiet at home instead of going out.

Our great Loronix friend Refer gave the idea of posting some sort of "international" Bossa Nova, such like the previous Polish EP. Thanks Refer, that's what zecalouro will try to manage. Good ideia.

This is the time to meet a Bossa Nova band from USA, Triste Janero, with the 1968 LP Meet Triste Janero. Triste Janero was born in Dallas, released this LP and then disappeared leaving only this nice BossaJazz easy-listening pop album.

They meant to name the band - Sad January - with the words in Portuguese Triste Janeiro, but they probably got Janero from Spanish instead of Portuguese. Another thing came to zecalouro attention, if the band is Triste Janero (sad January), why they are so happy running together and smiling inside these hippie clothes?

Who cares?

They record on the "White Whale" lable. The same lable as "The Turtles".

Maravilha, Zeca! só não sugeri antes esse disco porque achava que iria destoar. Bobagem minha, pois bossa nova está bombando até hoje porque um dia Sergio Mendes imaginou e inventou uma música que fosse internacional, a trilha sonora do jet set, o som do Brasil 66 que é, essencialmente, bossa nova.
O nome Triste Janero é um regionalismo texano/mexicano ou tex-mex ou, ainda, 'tejano'.

Hailing from the unlikely (for Brazilian inflected softpop anyway!)
location of Dallas, Texas, Triste Janero's sole LP release "Meet Triste
Janero" captures brilliantly the Brazilian-influenced side of late
sixties soft-pop In Rev-Ola's continuing series of ultra-rare White
Whale Masters, we unearth one of the most coveted soft-pop albums on
the collector's market today . Where Brasil'66 meets Psychpop, there
you will find Triste Janero.

It's not uncommon for original copies of the soft-psychedelic-tinged
1968 release to change hands for three figures! Never before on CD,
"Meet Triste Janero" includes rare photos and extensive interviews
with original Triste Janero band members. This is a yop collectable
much-coveted album and the first ever reissue, never before on CD
anywhere......! Meticulously remastered/recreated in the usual Rev-Ola
style this release contains copious notes, interviews with the
hitherto elusive band members, and rare photos in a lavish design
extravaganza!

Another key piece in the collectable field of Softpop! A must for
collectors of softpop, Tropicalia and the legendary White Whale label,
West Coast pop fans....and music fans in general!.....another Rev-Ola
classic!!
