Geraldo Vandre - Das Terras de Benvira (1973)

I was so involved with the final adjustments of the new Loronix features that I completely forgot to scan this album cover to close this Saturday. I'm happy I could make it timely; this is a very interesting record, the last Geraldo Vandre career album, recorded in his exile in France in 1970, launched in Brazil only in 1973. Das Terras do Benvira is quite different from all previous Geraldo Vandre releases. Let's see.

This is Geraldo Vandre - Das Terras de Benvira (1973), for Philips, a reposting with upgrades on cover scans and especially the music. Even if do not have Portuguese language skills, will be very clear that Geraldo Vandre delivers one of his most introspective albums, accompanied by a small group that has plenty space for improvisations in a few tracks of great duration. Geraldo Vandre writes all songs, being also responsible for direction and production. Tracks include:

Personnel

Marcelo Melo
(viola, guitar)
Kiko de Carinho
(harmonica)
Murilo Alencar
(guitar)
