Tania Maria - The Lady From Brazil (1987)

One of the several things I learned with Loronix is to appreciate Tania Maria. This woman plays wild, never cheats you and seems like is having fun and doing the best she can on every record she makes. A friend of mine said that she plays like a man, not a correct statement that I disagree, anyway, a nice definition of her style.

I pretty new to her and I'm still navigating on her discography to make the best picks. Just find this one last week and it is probably one of her best releases. This is Tania Maria - The Lady From Brazil (1987), for EMI-Odeon and produced by George Duke for George Duke Enterprises Inc. Breathless recording set with a long personnel listing, different on each track. I will pick the well known ones, as follows: Tania Maria (piano, keyboard, percussion, vocal), George Duke (sinclavier), Paulinho da Costa (percussion), Steve Gadd (drums), Anthony Jackson and Eddie Gomez (bass), George Howard (sax), among others. This LP is out of print, the last Tania Maria release, Via Brasil, was reported in print and removed. Tracks include:

01 - The Lady From Brazil (Tânia Maria / Trish Sisson)
02 - I Should Nlot Call You (Tânia Maria / Rob Crocker)
03 - Tanoca Vignette (Tânia Maria)
04 - Bronx (Tânia Maria)
05 - Just Get Up (Tânia Maria / Trish Sisson)
06 - Valeu (Tânia Maria)
07 - All Gone Love (Tânia Maria / Trish Sisson)
08 - It Hurts So Much (Tânia Maria / Trish Sisson)

Track 8 – the file`s mp3 header is corrupt (so you see 4:17 min instead of its actual length 4:50).
Use Power mp3 Converter (or other tool) to fix the file header.

Excellent album!

Hello Fuzzy Bear,

Great. I am a rookie, these tips are very important. Everyday I learn a new thing, never heard about MP3 header corruption. Thanks a lot.

Cheers, zeca
