Pedrinho Rodrigues e Samba Som Sete - Adeus Guanabara (1973)

It will be very hard to explain this record to everybody, since some knowledge on Rio de Janeiro politics and geography will be necessary, anyway, let's go!

Brazilia is one of the few cities in the world that was planned and designed since the beginning to be a country Capital, Capital of Brazil. In the past, Guanabara was Brazil's Capital. Everybody is used to listen Samba do Aviao from Antonio Carlos Jobim with lyrics that say: "Cristo Redentor, braços abertos sobre a Guanabara..."

Probably you are now asking yourself what happened with Guanabara. Guanabara state was what is known today as the City of Rio de Janeiro. In 1974, Guanabara was terminated and got the name of Rio de Janeiro, to be the Capital of the State of Rio de Janeiro.

Well, send me an email if you need clarification on this story. Actually, a sad story. Guanabara was cool. A great name.

This is the story behind this Pedrinho Rodrigues e Samba Som Sete - Adeus Guanabara (1973). Adeus Guanabara is Goodbye Guanabara in English.

You are confusing the name of the state (which used to be Guanabara, named after the bay) and the city (São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro) which later gave its abbreviated name to the state.

The error on track one is at 1:48 and then again at 2:15 it sounds like the needle jumps up or perhaps it's a digital belch.
