Paulinho Baterista - Batucada | Escola de Samba da Cidade e Paulinho e Sua Bateria (1961)

One of the first Loronix posts was a record from Luciano Perrone, a Brazilian drummer that released three LPs with "batucadas" - no songs, but rhythm sets of different Brazilian percussion styles. Everybody got crazy with Luciano Perrone music and his records are among those all time Loronix favorites.

Now it is time to meet another artist and a LP with the same style, Paulinho Baterista - Batucada - Escola de Samba da Cidade e Paulinho e Sua Bateria (1961). Paulinho is much more "popular" than Luciano Perrone and this record gets very close to the way people use to make Batucada on the streets in the early 60's. One some tracks, guitar and brass instruments can be heard to support the batucadas and are very well placed. Tracks include:

01 - Estilo Clássico
02 - Sorongo
03 - Bossa Nova
04 - Cruzado e Bossa Nova
05 - Marcha e Frevo
06 - Samba de Morro
07 - Partido Alto
08 - Baião Rojão e Maracatu
09 - Samba de Rua
10 - Samba de Carnaval
11 - Teleco Teco
12 - Batuque Em 3 Andamentos
