Quarteto em Cy - Em Cy Maior (1968)

It is amazing the great feedback the girls from O Quarteto em Cy receives on each release at Loronix. The Debut LP for Forma, her last release with the green cover was truly amazing. I think today is the best day to bring Quarteto em Cy again to Loronix. I received this morning an e-mail from our Brazilian-French French-Brazilian Loronixer Jean Yves (Jean do Trombone) with historical information of Quarteto em Cy formations to Loronixers. I will show the work of Jean with a great Quarteto em Cy LP.

This is Quarteto em Cy - Em Cy Maior (1968), for Elenco, featuring Cyva, Cybele, Cynara and Regina (CyRegina), now is piece of cake according with Jean Yves chart that you see before tracks. Quarteto em Cy - Em Cy Maior has arrangements from Oscar Castro Neves and is produced by Aloysio de Oliveira. Jean Yves called my attention this morning to this very nice LP that has also a unique participation of Sergio Porto on a track. Tracks include:

01 - Frevo de Orfeu (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
02 - Lua Cheia (Toquinho / Chico Buarque)
03 - Juliana (Dorival Caymmi)
04 - Onde Está Você (Oscar Castro Neves / Luvercy Fiorini)
05 - Minha Palhoça (J. Cascata)
06 - Samba do Carpinteiro (Velha / Alcebíades Barcelos "Bide")
07 - Samba do Crioulo Doido (Sergio Porto) Participação: Sergio Porto
08 - Aioká (Carlos Coquejo / Alcyvando Luz)
09 - Rancho de Ano Novo (Edu Lobo / Capinan)
10 - Minha Rua (Sidney Miller)
11 - A Volta do Chorinho (Lindolfo Gaya / Aloysio de Oliveira)

Great album; I really enjoy the Quarteto! Very interesting song selection on this record; quite a variety of songs. I especially like the Toquinho/Chico song Lua Cheia; it sounds very good when the Quarteto sings it. Thank you for this upload, and I look forward to more Quarteto!

Zeca, I think you missed a few LPs: the self-titled one on Elenco with the "Cyregina" line-up, which contains "Vamos Pranchar," "Amaralinda," "A Banda" and many more great tracks--very sweet LP from 1966. And the two LPs released in the US by Warner Brothers under the silly artist name "The Girls From Bahia": "Pardon My English" and (one of the very worst gringo-imposed album titles ever) "Revolucion Con Brasilia!" The latter is nevertheless an amazing album which repeats several Elenco tracks. And from the 70s Dorinha Tapajos era, there's the lovely "Querelas Do Brasil" in 1978 and "Em 1000 Kilohertz" from 1979 and "Resistindo" from around '75 (hasn't the '78 LP been Loronixed already?). Yeah, I guess you could say I really like Quarteto Em Cy too :-).......

Mr. G,

Thanks for all the info. You are Quarteto em Cy maniac!

I have most of these albums with two exceptions, Pardon my English and Resistindo.

Revolucion con Brazilia and Querelas are already released at Loronix, the others are really nice recommendations. I will queue them for the future and start hunting these two missing ones.

Cheers, zeca
