Sylvia Telles - Caricia (1957)

Hello, good evening! Jorge Mello was very right providing this important record to our community. It is also a great coincidence that it is among the few albums definitely lost in my work of reactivating the missing links. Actually, this is perhaps the most important of them all; Carícia is the debut LP of a singer that I learned to admire with Loronix creation, Sylvia Telles. Let’s see.

This is Sylvia Telles – Caricia (1957), for Odeon, with the participation of a young musician named Antonio Carlos Jobim as arranger and conductor on two tracks, the opening track 01 - Por Causa de Voce and the closing 08 - Foi a Noite. Maestro Leo Peracchi is also in charge of arrangements and conduction of track 06 – Chove la For a. Odeon did not credit the remaining five tracks. Caricia features Antonio Carlos Jobim songs that became standards in the following years and Sylvia Telles delivers stunning performances. I think that even those who had already the chance to listen to Caricia in the first post should make this update, now featuring high quality front and back cover scans. Tracks include:

01 - Por Causa de Você (Tom Jobim / Dolores Duran)
02 - Sucedeu Assim (Marino Pinto / Tom Jobim)
03 - Tu e Eu (Altamiro Carrilho / Armando Nunes) with Lúcio Alves Candinho
04 - Se Todos Fôssem Iguais a Você (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
05 - Canção da Volta (Ismael Netto / Antônio Maria)
06 - Chove La Fora (Tito Madi)
07 - Duas Contas (Garoto)
08 - Foi a Noite (Tom Jobim / Newton Mendonça)

PS.: I forgot to mention Lucio Alves participation as special guest on track 03 - Tu e Eu. Candinho is the special guest, thanks Edson Mendes for this correction.
