Lana Bittencourt - Intimamente (1958)

This is a really hard to find Lana Bittencourt LP, Lana Bittencourt - Intimamente (1958), for Columbia, probably her debut LP. I'm happy to make this post, since Lana was "revealed" at Loronix with the album MusicalScope and since then, several friends came to my mailbox saying that Lana was forgotten on their memories and Loronix provided a revival of Lana on their minds.

Very strong statement, but with Lana Bittencourt there are extremes, several loyal fans and those ones that did not take a time already for her singing. No matter what is your position, take a time to hear this LP, a very early Lana Bittencourt work that worth a try. Tracks include:

01 - Se Todos Fossem Iguais a Você
02 - Esquecimento
03 - Porque É
04 - Quem Se Humilha
05 - Desistência
06 - Quero Ir à Bahia
07 - A Vontade de Morrer Voltou Toda
08 - Ave Maria
09 - Haja o Que Houver
10 - Rua da Minha Cidade
11 - Prece
12 - Tô Só

  1. It is not her debut album. Her first one was a 10" of 1956.

    I forgot to say that it was her first debut LP. Actually, this 10", which is LANA BITTENCOURT (1956) Columbia LPCB 35017 is a compilation of several picks from previous 78rpms.

    Thanks for the tip.

  3. Só ainda há relativamente pouco tempo aqui o Rato descobriu esta belissima voz brasileira (mea culpa, mea culpa...). Por isso foi com inegável prazer que vi este seu post de hoje. Ainda não ouvi o disco mas a expectativa é enorme...
    Obrigado Zeca!

  4. No my friend you're wrong. That compilation of 78 rpms is her second 10". You need to check things more carefully...

    Yes. You are right. It's a shame. I need to do things more carefully, such like close Anonymous comments...

    What about exchange ideas using a real name instead of stay behind the "anonymous" protection?

    Something to think about...
