Jose Briamonte - Ritmos e Vozes | Agora e Samba (1973)

That's exactly what I was thinking for this Saturday, Samba, perfect for dancing and perfect for Loronixers, even those who don't have what we call in Brazil "Samba no Pe". I don't have Samba no Pe, but I know everybody likes it. I will tell you what it is.

This is Jose Briamonte - Ritmos e Vozes | Agora e Samba (1973), for Odeon. That's a really inquisitive record. Maestro Briamonte is in charge of everything, arrangements, and conduction also taking the role of musical director. I have an assumption that female singing and percussion instruments are played by the obscure group Ritmos e Vozes, however, it is just a hint. The repertoire is based on Samba tunes from Vinicius de Moraes, Ana Maria, Eduardo Gudin, Luiz Americo, Noel Rosa and others. Another Jose Briamonte LP that I never heard before. If you are in the mood of an orchestra LP, just like the legendary Briamonte Orchestra, think twice. This is all about Samba songs with girls singing. Tracks include:

01 - Tristeza Pé no Chão (Armando Fernandes "Mamão")
02 - Orgulho de Um Sambista (Gilson de Souza)
03 - Meu Pai Oxalá (Toquinho / Vinicius de Moraes)
04 - Assim Não Dá (Ana Maria)
05 - Verso Novo (Eduardo Gudin / Caú)
06 - Depois Que o "Taruim" Chegou Nunca Mais Melhorou (Capoeira)
07 - Ontem (Zé Di / Astrogildo Silva)
08 - Pra Minha Mulata Eu Sou Mais Eu (Ton Graça / Carlos Costa)
09 - Desafio (Luis Américo / Bráulio de Castro / Clóvis de Lima)
10 - Mexe Mexe (Otacílio de Jesus / Ciro / Bloco Carnavalesco Bafo da Onça)
11 - Bahia Berço do Brasil (Baianinho)
12 - Quem Ri Melhor (Noel Rosa)
