Fafa Lemos - Trio do Fafa (1958)

This album is from a time when Brazilian instrumental music was a mass audience product and features one of the most important musicians from the 40's to 70's, Fafa Lemos, an artist that recorded several solo releases and played with almost all the Brazilian stars of that time.

This is Fafa Lemos - Trio do Fafa (1958), for RCA Victor. Unfortunately, the album cover does not have personnel information and we can only "guess" Trio do Fafa members. I think members were not revealed due legal issue since both are outlined at front cover. Fafa Lemos recorded his last album with Carolina Cardoso de Menezes in 1989 and passed away at the age of 83, in 2004. Tracks include:

01 - Un Violino Nel Mio Cuore (Meu Coração É Um Violino) (Laparcerie / Rastelli)
02 - Saudades da Bahia (Dorival Caymmi)
03 - Cem Mil Réis (Noel Rosa / Vadico)
04 - Emília (Wilson Batista / Haroldo Lobo)
05 - Morena Boca de Ouro (Ary Barroso)
06 - Solução (Raul Sampaio / Ivo Santos)
07 - No Mar Negro (L. Rodi)
08 - Fantasma do Cajú (Berico / Franco Ferreira)
09 - Silêncio de Um Minuto (Noel Rosa)
10 - Lá Vem a Baiana (Dorival Caymmi)
11 - Se Acaso Você Chegasse (Lupicínio Rodrigues / Felisberto Martins)
12 - Fracassos de Amor (Tito Madi / Milton Silva)
