The last challenge game featuring Baden Powell and Rosana Toledo performing together was really interest. I was curious to understand why they were performing together, since I never heard about a connection between Baden and Rosana Toledo. The answer came yesterday with an interview made by Café Brasil with Rosana Toledo in June 2006, which I invite you to read at this link.
Rosana Toledo says that Baden Powell performs in some of her albums, and this one is probably included. They were friends in the very first beginning of Baden Powell career, which now explains that amazing photo. Rosana lives today at Retiro dos Artistas, a very important initiative in Rio de Janeiro, providing housing and support to artists with special needs. This is the repost of the Rosana Toledo second LP and her first album made available at Loronix in November 2006. Let’s see.This is Rosana Toledo - ...e a Vida Continua (1962), for RGE, featuring arrangements by Maestro Nelsinho, in front of the legendary Orquestra RGE. Sister of Luiz Bonfa’s wife, Maria Helena Toledo, Rosana ended her career prematurely, after recording only five albums and a 78rpm. Her albums never had a chance of being reissued in CD and Loronix has some to offer, including her last album, a nice contribution made by Caetano Rodrigues, here. ...e a Vida Continua repertoire is based on Sambas by Noel Rosa, Jair Amorim, Vadico among others. Tracks include:
01 - E a Vida Continua (Jair Amorim / Evaldo Gouveia)
02 - Porque Fui Te Encontrar (Nelsinho / Orlando Henriques)
03 - Que Deus Me Dê (Jair Amorim / Evaldo Gouveia)
