Quinteto Violado - Quinteto Violado (1972)

I swear it was accidentally, another LP with Nara Leao as special guest on two tracks. I promise, for the next two weeks I will skip future releases with Nara Leao as special guest. Anyway, let's forget these coincidences to take a special attention to this release. This is Quinteto Violado - Quinteto Violado (1972), for Philips, the debut LP of this unique Brazilian band from the 70's that is active until today.

This post was generated by a conversation with Refer, who suggested - correctly - some more regional music releases at Loronix with a few selected picks. We cannot go wrong with Quinteto Violado, an instrumental band that mixes standard instruments with primitives ones, such as: arremedo, matraca, ganza, etc. If this is your first time with Quinteto Violado, do not miss, it is a unique experience. Personnel for this LP is Marcelo Melo (acoustic guitar), Fernando Filizola (viola), Luciano Pimentel (percussion), Toinho Alves (bass) e Sando (fluete). The last two tracks are bonus track from the Fontana's 1979 reissue. Tracks include (does not includes the bonus tracks).
