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).

01 - Asa Branca (Luis Gonzaga / Humberto Teixeira)
02 - Freviola (Marcelo Melo)
03 - Santana (Fernando Filizola)
04 - Reflexo (Luciano Pimentel / Fernando Filizola / Toinho Alves)
05 - Imagens do Recife (Deda / Marcelo Melo / Toinho Alves)
06 - Roda de Ciranda (Marcelo Melo / Toinho Alves)
07 - Baião da Garoa (Luis Gonzaga / Hervé Cordovil)
08 - Acauã (Zé Dantas)
09 - Marcha Nativa dos Índios Quiriris (Toinho Alves / Marcelo Melo)
10 - Vozes da Seca (Luis Gonzaga / Zé Dantas)
11 - Agreste (Fernando Filizola / Sando)

    Well I'm not complaining, Zecalouro! I'm loving all the Nara you can throw my way!

    Zecalouro... I have always wondered why your collection is so samba-unfriendly... I notice many titles here that say samba-this or samba-that, but are often little more than another jazz-bossa-progressive-post-bossa band doing "samba". There are some notable exceptions, of course.

    On another note, the reason I post this here is your comment about "standard" versus "primitive" instruments. If non-European instruments (so not to say indigenous or African ones) are considered inferior or primitive to the European "standard", then perhaps this explains Zecalouro's penchant for Bossa and Jazz to the almost total exclusion of "roots" samba on your blog.

    I don't mean for this to sound as harsh as it may. I honestly believe that the green bird is an amazingly generous soul who has made a slight error in semantics... Please clarify.

    The cover art is of course, by Roger Dean. This same art is featured on the cover of the British prog/rock band Paladin (their "Charge" LP, if I recall correctly). Just thought someone out there would like to know. As always, great job in your presentations, Zeca!
