Luiz Henrique - Listen to Me (1967)

Hello, Good Night! A late good night today. The sunset in Copacabana was so great today that I could not stay away from the window until the end. However, full of good feelings and really motivated by the sunset, I discovered that everything is very slow with the Internet down here. I don't know if it is something on my infrastructure or my hosting service. I don't want to check this thing now, I'm in a very good humor and nothing can be stopping me. We will go today with already available material, which is also great.

This is Luiz Henrique - Listen to Me (1967), for Fontana USA, released in the US during his seven years stay outside Brazil. Listen to Me is not listed on the discographies I could check and probably it will be a good surprise for the many Luiz Henrique fans. Luiz Henrique is a great artist that uses to receive several comments from Loronixers on each release. Unfortunately, I could not search successfully personnel and complimentary details of this LP and I trust on Loronixers to add more info to this post. Tracks include:

01 - If You Want to Be a Lover
02 - I Was Afraid
03 - Berimbau
04 - There Goes my Heart
05 - Sem Tostao
06 - Song of Santa Claus
07 - In my Automobile
08 - Like a Flower
09 - Summer Song
10 - Sambao
11 - Alcinha
12 - Listen to Me



Additional information by Frank-Olliver Helman: "Arranged by Sivuca. There is also a photo of Dom Um Romao playing berimbau. "Sambao" is a Dom Um Romao composition. So Sivuca and Dom Um Romao participates on the whole recording."

    Hi Zeca,

    I have this LP and will check the personnel.
    What I not have is Luiz Henrique`s
    first compacto duplo for Philips
    "Garota da Rua da Praia" Three of the tracks are not on the "A Bossa Moderna" LP. Perhaps you can ask Caetano for this EP.
    Thank you!

    I checked the back cover:

    Arranged by Sivuca. There is also
    a photo of Dom Um Romao playing berimbau. "Sambao" is a Dom Um Romao composition. So Sivuca and
    Dom Um Romao participates on the whole recording.

    Frank-Oliver,

    Thanks a million, pal. I will be always comfortable to count yours and bossanovadreamer knowledge when the matter is Brazilian music. When the subject is Luiz Henrique, you know everything.

    Thanks,

    Frank-Oliver,

    Just forgot to say that I'm addressing Luiz Henrique single. It is difficult, as every single or EP uses to be.

    Cheers, zeca
