Varios Artistas - Brasil '66 (1966)

Perhaps I'm having a good relationship with Rio de Janeiro, since in the last days we had covers, videos and pictures based on Rio landscapes. Maybe Caetano is missing Rio, this is another of his amazing and never seen before records. Actually, Brasil '66 is a compilation on side B and part of a given album by the mighty Maestro Erlon Chaves. Let's check what we have here.

This is Brasil '66 (1966), for Fermata, featuring Erlon Chaves, Zimbo Trio, Manfredo Fest, Paulinho Nogueira, Ely Arcoverde, Bossa Jazz Trio and Luiz Chaves e seu Conjunto. The whole side A with six songs features Erlon Chaves e Sua Orquestra, while each track of side B is taken by these top-notch instrumental musicians. I think that nothing can go wrong with this album, starting with the cover that alone worth the admission price. Tracks include:

Erlon Chaves e Sua Orquestra

Garota de Ipanema
Das Rosas
Acender as Velas
Balanco Zona Sul
Marcha da Quarta Feira de Cinzas
Brazilian Varig

Zimbo Trio
Arrastao

Manfredo Fest
Reza

Paulinho Nogueira

Zeca, só não descobri sobre o Ely Arcoverde, mas todos os demais artistas desse album são não-cariocas. Entretanto os temas, e a bela capa, fazem referência direta ao Rio. É mais um pequeno detalhe interessante.

Hi, I don't usually write down to ask for anything, but I'd like to know if someone has an Lp called VIVRE!, by the french musician and singer PIERRE BAROUH, who fell in love with bossa nova in the sixties and penned SAMBA SARAVAH.
Thank you

Hello Peleon,
I am a fan of Pierre Barouh.
yes, I have Barouh's album Vivre (this Japan Cd release) : I also have the Barouh CD Saudade which includes the song Saudade with Baden Powell on guitar (they tell it is the first recorded french Bossa Nova )Do you want it? we can talk about. I think Vivre is out of print.

Best wishes

I didn't know it was released on CD, and of course I'm interested in.
