Emilio Santiago - Emilio Santiago (1975)

Hello! Good Evening! I was decided to describe how was the great day I had but I decided to be a little bit straightforward. However, I need to tell the day was great. Period. Great enough to decide on addressing this long time request by Loronixers, the debut LP of Emilio Santiago, considered one of the best Brazilian voices on the current scene. I will take also advantage to present a video and also answer an old challenge. Let's see.

This is Emilio Santiago - Emilio Santiago (1975), for CID. I was astonished when I check the release date of Emilio Santiago first LP. Emilio took 10 years to release his fist album before he made the appearance on that early challenge at the gas station. I'm making that video available again in case you miss it. This is a very hard review, since it is a very different album from what we are used to expect from Emilio Santiago, a romantic singer with a commercial repertoire. This debut has wonderful Samba Soul renditions performed with soul. I will let the comments section for the specialist, Trix, Mr. G., Mr. B, Now, Donatinho and many others 70's authorities. I'm making also a video by Luiz Harding showing Emilio Santiago and Cesar Camargo Mariano performing together. Tracks include:

01 - Bananeira (Gilberto Gil / João Donato)
02 - Quero Alegria (Nelson Cavaquinho / Guilherme de Brito)
03 - Porque Somos Iguais (Durval Ferreira / Pedro Camargo)
04 - Batendo a Porta (João Nogueira / Paulo César Pinheiro)
05 - Depois (Ivan Lins / Otávio Daher)
06 - Brother (Jorge Ben "Jorge Benjor")
07 - La Mulata (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
08 - Nega Dina (Zé Keti)
09 - Doa a Quem Doer (Ivan Lins)
10 - Sessão das Dez (Tita / Édison Lobo / Renato Rocha)
