Neco - Samba e Violao (1967)

It has been three months since the first Neco LP made available to Loronixers and this one provided by Caetano Rodrigues. I kept an eye during these 90 days on old vinyl stores, auction sites and virtual communities to gather another out of print Neco LP. I'm very happy with this sharing and probably many friends. Thanks also to Jean Yves (Jean do Trombone) for his very gentle comments at the shout box asking for Neco LPs with passion, living far from Brazil in France, this release should be special to Jean Yves. I understand this kind of feeling and Caetano either and that is the magic of our community, the celebration of the music from Brazil.

This is Neco - Samba e Violao (1967), for London. If you got amazed with the earlier released Velvet Bossa Nova, get yourself ready to be paralyzed by this one, a nice violao instrumental album that will make the day of several friends, specially the musicians from Brazil. This country has a unique violao tradition, an instrument loved by every musician. Tracks include:

01 - Upa Neguinho (Edu Lobo / Gianfrancesco Guarnieri)
02 - Agora É Cinza (Alcebíades Barcelos "Bide" / Armando "Marçal")
03 - Opinião (Zé Keti)
04 - Disparada (Geraldo Vandré / Theo de Barros)
05 - Olê Olá (Chico Buarque)
06 - Não Tenho Lágrimas (Milton de Oliveira / Max Bulhões)
07 - Apelo (Baden Powell / Vinicius de Moraes)
08 - Não Me Diga Adeus (Paquito / Luis Soberano / João Correia da Silva)
09 - Doralice (Antônio Almeida / Dorival Caymmi)
10 - O Morro Não Tem Vez (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
11 - Samba do Avião (Tom Jobim)
12 - Só Tinha de Ser Com Você (Tom Jobim / Aloysio de Oliveira)
