Carlos Machado - A Grande Revista (1955)

With Loronixers having fun with the challenges to identify artists from the radio golden age, I think it is time to show through a live recording, one of the coolest artistic manifestation from Brazil, very popular and famous in the 40's and 50's, the Teatro Revista. Teatro Revista were popular theatre plays with live music and comedy based on what was Brazil daily agenda, covering, spots, politics and other social critics. A bit of sensuality was also part of Teatro Revista plays. Let's check this very old Mocambo record, featuring one of the greatest Brazilian artists on the genre, Grande Otelo.

This is Carlos Machado - A Grande Revista (1955), for Mocambo, recorded live at a Teatro Revista play, performed at Night and Day nightclub, featuring Grande Otelo, Silvia Fernanda, Mara Abrantes, Billy Davis and Gilda Valença. This is a great stuff if you had the chance to live those good times, I never could realized that a record with the live audio of a Teatro Revista still exists. I did not find a reasonable Grande Otelo performance on video, that's why I'm showing another great artists of those days, Oscarito, with a excerpt of a 1950 movie, Aviso aos Navegantes, directed by Watson Macedo. Tracks included with the music this time.
