Radames Gnattali e Rafael Rabello - Tributo a Garoto (1982)

Hello, good evening! This is the repost of an essential album released in February 2007 featuring two great musicians, Radames Gnattali and Rafael Rabello making a tribute to one of the greatest Brazilian guitar player ever, Anibal Augusto Sardinha, also known as Garoto, a very important artist that in his short life could influence several generations of Brazilian musicians. JOAO-SP provided this record in excellent conditions making possible to make the vinyl transfer with no noise reduction process. Let's see.

This is Radames Gnattali & Rafael Rabello - Tributo a Garoto (1982), for Funarte, a Brazilian government institute. It is fantastic to hear a very young Rafael Rabello recording an album with the experienced and renowned Radames Gnattali on such unusual formation, piano and violao. The repertoire features on Side A five Garoto compositions while Side B brings a reduced version of Radames Gnattali Concertino para Violao e Orquestra, presented here as Concertino para Violao e Piano. This is a fantastic album and I'm very grateful to JOAO-SP for making this repost viable on perfect conditions, including several scans with lots of information about Garoto and the recording session. Tracks include:
