Portinho e Sua Orquestra - Noel Rosa & Portinho da Samba (1964)

Noel Rosa is one of the main Brazilian music figures of all times, he is responsible for a revolution, bringing to Brazilian music sophisticated harmonies and lyrics with informal social themes and life in Rio de Janeiro. Noel Rosa was born in 1910 and has passed with only 27 years old. It is amazing that more than 60 years after his passing, Noel Rosa is still fresh and celebrated by renowned Brazilian artists. zecalouro strongly recommends that you take a time to read Noel Rosa bio from AMG.

Maestro Portinho has the responsibility to introduce Noel Rosa to Loronixers with a tribute instrumental LP, Portinho e Sua Orquestra - Noel Rosa & Portinho Da Samba (1964), truly gorgeous orchestra album with Noel Rosa compositions that will save your day. Tracks include:

01 - Palpite Infeliz (Noel Rosa)

    Hi Zecalouro. I think you meant "After".

    Now,

    Thanks a lot. I use to swap before and after every time.

    I'm correcting.

    Cheers, zecalouro

    OK, here we go again: this is the "real" sound of a samba orchestra in the same division as the earlier post with Simonetti.
    Super!
    Many thanks

    Noel Rosa's music it's fantastic, but why don't you have Noel Rosa himself? Won't you please?

    Pablo,

    Good question.

    Perhaps Noel's recordings are only available at 78rpm format.

    Anyway, worth checking this out.

    Thanks,

    zeca
