Special Post | Lucio Alves - A Bossa e Nossa (1960)

Hello, Good Night! This is a special post, a special request of the great Caetano Rodrigues. I'm very happy to address this request with Lucio Alves, a special artist to Caetano, his friends and several Loronixers. Let's hear the story behind this post.

October, 19th, 2006 landmarks the first time Caetano Rodrigues get to known Loronix. Caetano did not reach Loronix by accident; he was referenced by a friend, Mecenas Salles. Caetano and Mecenas have a common friend that I also want to introduce with this post, the Legendary Jorge Cravo also know as Cravinho, one of the greatest vinyl collectors in Brazil. Mecenas, Cravinho and Caetano are enthusiasts of Lucio Alves, having the privilege to have Lucio Alves as their friends when Lucio was here on Earth.

zecalouro is proud of being the connection between Caetano and his friends Mecenas and Cravinho. Mecenas and Cravinho do not have this rare Lucio Alves album in their collection and Caetano had the great idea to send this record using Loronix. Thanks for this opportunity, Caetano and thanks also Mecenas to introduce Caetano to Loronix and Cravinho for providing Bossa Nova fans with a amazing book.

Cravinho is the author of a book, Cacador de Bolachas Perdidas, which I had the opportunity to read a couple of years ago and read again today with the same enthusiasm. Cravinho is the kind of guy that was in contact with several important moments and artists of Brazilian music and his book is a treasure, full of nice stories, including a chapter dedicated to Lucio Alves that I will not tell here to do not spoil your reading. I'm sure that you will be purchasing his book though Loronix, just click on image book to be directed to submarino.com.

This is Lucio Alves - A Bossa e Nossa (1960), for Philips. Self-explanatory, a missing piece on my discography and also for Caetano friends, not for now one. I'm happy to have delayed this release, this album was sent by the bossanovadreamer a couple of weeks ago and I had that not explainable feeling that I had to save it for later. I was right. Thanks bossanovadreamer. Tracks include:

01 - Viva Meu Samba (Billy Blanco)
02 - Dindi (Tom Jobim / Aloysio de Oliveira)
03 - Joãozinho Boa Pinta (Geraldo Jacques / Haroldo Barbosa)
04 - Baladinha Lítero-musical (Mário Lago)
05 - A Vizinha do Lado (Dorival Caymmi)
06 - Nova Ilusão (Luis Bittencourt / José Menezes)
07 - O Amor e a Rosa (Pernambuco / Antônio Maria)
08 - Cheiro de Saudade (Luis Antônio / Djalma Ferreira)
09 - O Nosso Olhar (Sergio Ricardo)
10 - Casinha Pequena (Lúcio Alves)
11 - Samba Triste (Baden Powell / Billy Blanco)
12 - Samba da Minha Terra (Dorival Caymmi)



PS.: Just received this message from Mecenas at Sambossa 5 post, it is from Mecenas Salles, thanks Mecenas

Zeca, fico feliz por ter sido responsável em apresentar o Loronix ao Caetano. Acabo de sair do telefone com ele que me disse que você vai postar o LP de bossa do Lucio Alves. O Cravinho cobra diariamente e eu é quem vou baixar para ele.
Abraço

    Meu caro Zeca,
    O Caetano me ligou novamente aqui para Salvador, para me contar que você já havia postado o Lucio Alves. Tarde, pois eu já estava baixando essa preciosidade. Muito obrigado.
    Agora o seu texto está por demais legal. Cara, quando eu lí, liguei logo para o Cravinho e mandei que ele entrasse no site par ler. Ele não manja muito de computador e porisso me pediu para lhe agradecer não só pelas palavrs, como pela publicação da capa do livro. Portanto aqui estão os agradecimentos do Cravinho com um abraço especial.
    Já entrei em muitos blogs de musica, porém você tem o melhor e mais completo blog de musica brasileira da Internet. Parabens. Você consegue reviver o passado da boa musica que infelizmente havia se perdido no tempo.
    Qualquer dia lhe mando umas coisas que sobraram de minha coleção de LPs. Um forte abraço.

    "O Caçador" é um daqueles livros que todos que gostam de música popular deveriam ler.
    As histórias do Cravinho são fantásticas.
    Gostaria muito de conhecê-lo e ficar ouvindo. Mesmo as passagens já lidas.
    Como o querido Lucio Alves: imperdível.

    Aos que possuem esse belo LP ("A Bossa é Nossa"), será que alguém poderia postar ou me encaminhar o texto completo da contracapa (inclusive o P.S.)? É que a foto anexada ao arquivo de donwload não deixa legível o texto. Não consegui nem descobrir a autoria.
    Ao Zeca, parabéns pela excelência desse blog.
