O Quarteto - O Quarteto (1968)

Yesterday, I was chatting with Cleber and Renato at Loronix Live Chat, which is the chatting application inside Loronix Forum and Cleber suggested an LP from the vocal group O Quarteto. Cleber said also that the four O Quarteto members are all engineers, something that I could not check.

The first time I saw a LP from O Quarteto was at NAmerica Loves SAmerica from Now, that has the last and late O Quarteto LP recorded in 1977. I'm introducing this vocal group with another release; this is O Quarteto - O Quarteto (1968), for Phillips, which is O Quarteto debut LP. I was not successful searching bios information from this band, but many people appreciates this group that apparently had a short life, recording two LPs in the late 60's and the last release available at Now's blog. They have also important participations at Brazilian music festivals from the 60's. Let's see how O Quarteto performs here at Loronix. Tracks include:

01 - Os Grilos (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
02 - Live For Life (Vivre Pour Vivre) (F. Lai)
03 - O Velho (Chico Buarque)
04 - Bonita (Tom Jobim)
05 - Rua Antiga (Roberto Menescal / R. Richter)
06 - Who Needs Forever (Q. Jones / Greenfield)
