Sivuca - Guitar and Accordion (1969)

The press coverage dedicated a few lines to inform and/or tribute the passing of the great Sivuca a few weeks ago. In the other hand, the music and fan communities in the Internet seems that will never stop, remembering, celebrating and sharing information about this great artist. We have here another Sivuca LP, pretty hard to find, sent by our friend Emilio Sadier just before his passing. Thanks for it Emilio.

This is Sivuca - Guitar and Accordion (1969), for Grammonfon AB Electra - Sweden, recorded in two days (January, 22 and 23), with arrangements by Sivuca and strings and flute arrangements by Merit Hemmingson. As far as I could search this record was never re-issued in CD and should be a missing piece for several fans of Sivuca. This cover has something strange that disturbs me; it is great, but for an unknown reason brings some melancholic feelings. I'm sure that you will enjoy this album. Tracks include:

01 - Canção da Volta (Ismael Netto / Antônio Maria)
02 - Arrastão (Edu Lobo / Vinicius de Moraes)
03 - Minha Saudade (João Donato)
04 - Eu e a Brisa (Johnny Alf)
05 - Sound Of Samba (Sivuca)
06 - Quem Quizer Amar Alguém (Luis Henrique)
07 - Amor Verdadeiro (Sivuca / Luis Bandeira)
08 - No Rancho Fundo (Ary Barroso / Lamartine Babo)
09 - By The Way (Eumir Deodato)
10 - Guriatã de Coqueiro (Severino Rangel "Ratinho")
11 - Feitiço de Vila (Noel Rosa)
12 - Pra Que Chorar (Baden Powell)
