Lyrio Panicali and His Orchestra - Brazil, New Dimensions in Sound (1968)

I have a special admiration for all Brazilian Maestros we have at Loronix and Lyrio Panicali is among my favorites. This LP, recorded for US market, is probably unknown by many friends in Brazil, Lyrio Panicali and His Orchestra - Brazil, New Dimensions in Sound (1968), for United Artists, I cannot confirm right now if the record session was taken in Brazil or in the US. This one should not be confused with the fantastic Nova Dimensao, released in 1965 for Odeon.

This is not only an Orchestra album, there are voices and lyrics in some tracks, Clara Nunes at his pre-samba ages, recognized for her collaboration with Lyrio Panicali sings on tracks Insensatez and A Felicidade. Silvio Cesar also makes his contribution singing tracks Dindi and Apelo. The repertoire is based on Bossa Nova standards, another unique release provided by Caetano Rodrigues. Tracks include:

01 - Aranjuez, Mon Amour
02 - Upa Neguinho
03 - Insensatez - with Clara Nunes
04 - Carolina
05 - Tem Mais Samba
06 - Dindi - with Silvio Cesar
07 - Tristeza
08 - Apelo - with Silvio Cesar
09 - Roda
10 - Meditacao
11 - A Felicidade - with Clara Nunes
12 - Garota de Ipanema

I knew Loronix yesterday, and took a syberwlak trought it.
I allways thought ebay was the best site of the web, but I changed my mind !
the best place is here, "here and now" (as said Mr. Gil).
Long life to Zecalouro and to the brazilian music, the best around the world !

Prezado Zeca, considero o Loronix o melhor blog musical da internet. Conheço muitos, mas o seu tem uma coesão conceitual impressonante. Você disponibiliza trabalhos maravilhosos que são praticamente impossíveis de se obter pelas vias convencionais.
Meus parabens e faço votos que continue sempre com esta qualidade inigualável.

Obrigado. Dj Vareja de Brasília.

Joao C Beltrao,

Your kindly words are really appreciated. Loronix is not zecalouro's blog, but the community were all Brazilian music fans get together to share your feelings and also your music. I could not make it without my friends, the Loronixers. Feel also free to check Loronix Forum, it is a baby and is growing.

Cheers, zecalouro

dj varela,

Obrigado amigo. Você pescou bastante bem a idéia. Essa coisa que você chama de coesão conceitual é algo que eu preservo e luto para manter todos os dias. Essa coesão não implica nenhum tipo de preconceito, muito pelo contrário, o Loronix é aberto a todos os estilos, todos eles cabem, desde que dispostos de forma coerente em uma linha de tempo.

É essa a razão de alguma demora em colocar algumas contribuições dos Loronixers, elas precisam ser encaixadas nessa linha conceitual. É um trabalho chave que tenho um grande prazer de desenvolver aqui.

Abraços, zeca
