Luiz Henrique - Mestiço (1975)

Let's start the show today with Luiz Henrique and what I suppose to be his last LP, Luiz Henrique - Mestiço (1975), released after Barra Limpa and Popcorn by Verve during his stay in the US. This album is really different from the first solo LP and these two later works. Mestiço is exactly what the name supposes to be, a fusion of 70's influences approaching psycho, progressive rock with jazz arrangements.

Unfortunately, the linear notes does not bring any info about the line-up of this set, which I'm asking you please to send comments if you have this information. Tracks include:

01 - Jandira (Luis Henrique / Raul Caldas Filho)
02 - Mestiço (Luis Henrique)
03 - Sonhar (Luis Henrique / Raul Caldas Filho)
04 - Saiandeira (Luis Henrique)
05 - Say Hello To K T (Pra Não Deixar de Sambar) (Luis Henrique)
06 - Dianne (Luis Henrique)
07 - Sempre Amor (Luis Henrique / Oscar Brown Jr.)

Attention, please: post Post (Ouch!) information: the line-up, world class team, which confirms my first impressions. Great LP, released in 1975 by Itagra, an independent Brazilian label, just a few and limited number of copies were released. In spite of some discographies considering this LP as a 1972 release, I'm quite sure that this gem came to life in 1975.

Hey now,

Some discographies takes in consideration as 1972, but I'm quite sure that it is a 1975 record. Several guys are auctioning this thing as it is from 1975.

And they don't use to be wrong with businessess.

Thanks for sharing this zecalouro ! I love this record, Luiz's sweet voice and the smooth sound of the Fender Rhodes.
Great !!
