Os Boemios - Os Boemios (1965)

I need to tell you what happened in the last two hours to now, just to show how several small facts can lead a glory blogging day into a disaster. I spoke with Caetano and we decided together by a fantastic record as the closing post. We were happy with our decision and Caetano spent all his patience with zeca explaining the record in details, etc. Piece of cake, just create the MP3s and bingo. I hang-up the phone, open the vault, withdraw the MD 22, close the vault and went to the kitchen to drink some water.

Then I realize that MD 22 was lost and spent the next 30 minutes on searches around the apartment to find the MD. Tired and very worried, I went to the kitchen to drink another glass of water. I found the MD inside the refrigerator. I swear. I think I return the water and the MD to the refrigerator without knowing. So I finally make the transfer and everything was perfect in the world and started the phase that I like most, cover photos. Another tragedy, the cover is dark, really dark and I could not make it on an acceptable quality.

The last hope on these situations are the z-Files. The z-Files is a shelf with posts prepared in advance, to be used in those days with a great amount of work or any other situation that they come handy, such like this one. Anyway, stay with this gorgeous LP from Os Boemios, when I make a z-Files storage retrieval to start making a new Caetano release, selected with an additional criterion, a light cover.

This is Os Boemios - Os Boemios (1965), for Musidisc, featuring musical teachers of the Radio Ministerio da Educacao (Radio MEC), an outstanding chorinho recording played by this unique group of music teachers. Os Boemios were under contract of Nilo Sergio's Musidisc to release this LP, which is their only release. If you are fan of traditional chorinho with beautiful clarinet solos and compositions of chorinho legends such like Luis Americano, Ernesto Nazareth, Pixinguinha and others, this is the right choice.
