Good night, friends! Everybody talks about the Brazilian music from Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Sao Paulo and Bahia, notably, these five states are really important, they gave renowned artists and were also responsible for cultural movements such as Tropicalismo, Bossa Nova, etc.I have received more than a few e-mails from friends of Rio Grande do Sul, not with complaints, just remembering that this state gave to us legends such like Elis Regina, Manfredo Fest, among others. Breno Sauer is not considered a legend, but had an important contribution to instrumental music and was responsible for some other artists that got recognition with him, such like Garoto and Olmir Stocker aka Alemao.
Let's move the spotlight for Breno Sauer Quinteto - Sambabessa (1963), for RGE, wonderful instrumental LP featuring Breno Sauer (vibes), Olmir Stocker (guitar), Osvaldo Carrero (accordion), Portinho (drums) and Erne Eger (bass). You will probably wonder if the drummer Portinho is in fact Maestro Portinho. I could not check it, but it seems that it is just a homonymous. Tracks include:
01 - Sambabessa (Olmir Stocker "Alemão")
02 - Amor e Paz (Tito Madi)
03 - Luciana (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
04 - Canção do Amor Mais Triste (Édson Borges)
05 - Fim de Semana Em Paquetá (João de Barro / Alberto Ribeiro)
06 - Samba da Madrugada (Dora Lopes / Carminha Mascarenhas / Herotides Nascimento)
07 - Liberdade Demais (Hélio Nascimento / Mariano Filho)
08 - Senhorita (Tito Madi)
09 - Só Danço Samba (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
10 - Desafinado (Tom Jobim / Newton Mendonça)
11 - Lembranças (Raul Sampaio / Benil Santos)
12 - Três Amigos (Túlio Piva)

Hello Zecalouro:
This Portinho is the legendary Samba Jazz drummer who has played with everyone from Harry Belafonte to Hendrik Meurkens to...Joe Carter :-) He now lives and works in New York City.
Joe Carter,
Thanks once again for the information.
If you don't have this knowledge by heart of by personal experience, it is very hard to track down. The information available about musicians is minimal, even well-known musicians.
Cheers, zecalouro
Zeca:
Did I tell you I was at the recording session for this record?
...only kidding, my friend.
Keep up the good work. We all appreciate what you're doing.
Joe C.
Joe,
If you say that you were at the recording session of Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band and the vocals at Fixing a Hole is yours, I will believe.
You know how loyal are fans...
Cheers, zeca
Hi, Zeca!
Breno Sauer is fantastic as allways!!!
Please keep in mind his other releases, especially: Viva A Musica! (Colombia), 4 na Bossa (Musidisc), Agostinho, sempre Agostinho (RGE).
According Manfredo (Fest): his Evolucao crying for publishing!
Don't miss another highly underrated man from RGS - a mean Primo, especially his 2 obscure cuts for Equipe with Quintet, and even more misterious records from Mexico with Pery Ribeiro.
Great gauchos!!!
I checked with ny dad and it is in fact Portinho-
