Arnoldo Medeiros - O Homem, O Poeta (1975) with Luiz Eça, Helcio Milito and Durval Ferreira

A friend of us shouted yesterday for this artist and I decided to give a try, being amazed since then with this LP, personnel and production. I think it is reasonable to say that Arnoldo Medeiros is more a poetry than an singer or musician, he started his career in the 60's, taking part on several different Festivais da Cancao throughout this decade and since then, being recorded by many renowned artists, such as: Doris Monteiro, Leny Andrade, Erlon Chaves, Taiguara and Many others.

Arnoldo Medeiros released only one LP and that is what zecalouro wants to show you, Arnoldo Medeiros - O Homem, O Poeta (1975), for RCA Camdem, featuring a top-notch personnel listing, highlighted bellow with tracks.

My good friend Arnoldo lived and worked in Washington for many years for the World Bank. He gave me my copy of this great album without realising how incredibly rare it is.

In recent years Arnoldo returned to music and to composing with his original partner Dom Salvador.

In the last couple of years, he has retired to Brasilia with his wife but he still looks pretty much the same as on this record sleeve!
