Waldir Calmon - Waldir Calmon Apresenta: Uma Noite no Arpege (1956)

Continuing with the Brazilian organists posts and also with the latest orchestra series, zecalouro introduces to Loronixers the legendary organist and pianist Waldir Calmon.

Waldir Calmon is an almost forgotten Brazilian artist that was very active from the 40's to 70's. Calmon was a solid contributor for Brazilian music and took several different roles as an artist, such as: piano and organ player, orchestra leader, composer, singer, among other complimentary activities, which includes a record label - Waldir Calmon Produções Artisticas - and his own renowned night-club - Arperge, which gives the title to this LP - in 1955, active until 1967.

My friends in Brazil will easily associate Waldir Calmon with the legendary song Na Cadencia do Samba, performed for decades on every Brazilian movie theatre on Canal 100, a soccer show with very nice color images from the matches of the past week.

Na Cadencia do Samba is available here at TurboUpload hosting server as a zecalouro gift, Hope uEnjoy! http://tinyurl.com/zlrxb
