Pau Brasil - Pau Brasil (1980)

One of the things that I learn with Loronix is to have a great respect and admiration to Brazilian Samba Rock enthusiasts. They are different, really. They know how to live in community, respecting each other with no rivalities and a great willing to collaborate with each other. Mr. G. provides this release that is my personal tribute to the Samba Rock scene, the bands, the musicians and the fans. You are great.

You will be thrilled with this Mr. G. release, this is Pau Brasil - Pau Brasil (1980), for Continental, not to be confused with the Jazz band from Rio de Janeiro, this Pau Brasil is from Brazilian South, Rio Grande do Sul state. They have released two LPs, the first in 1978 as O Samba e Suas Origens. Pau Brasil is Bedeu (acoustic guitar and percussion), Alexandre (acoustic guitar and bass) and Leleco (pandeiro and timbales), the production is in charge of Marcus Vinicius and artistic direction is from a well-known artist from Tropicalismo years, Manoel Barenbein.
