Marisa Barros & Astor Silva - Marisa Barroso / Astor (1963)

Brazilian female singers have something special. Nelson Motta said one day that Brazil is a country of female singers. I agree. Our community gives always a nice feedback on Brazilian divas. It is time to remember a Brazilian diva that was introduced to us by Caetano Rodrigues, Thelma Soares or just Thelma. I'm quite sure that only a few Loronixers knew Thelma before presented here.

Caetano is now thrilling us with a new female singer and I think she can make as Thelma. Meet Marisa Barroso with the legendary Astor Silva from Os Ipanemas.

This is Marisa Barroso & Astor Silva - Marisa Barroso / Astor (1963), for Columbia. Thelma was revealed by Vinicius de Moraes and Beatriz Azevedo de Brito by Ary Barroso, this is the reason for the artistic name. Marisa Barroso recorded several 78rpm and three LPs, such as Thelma that also made three albums. Anyway, I think it is better hear Marisa Barroso & Astor Silva, instead of finding coincidences. Astor is a top-notch musician that we know for several albums at Loronix, performing the roles of trombonist and arranger. Tracks include:

01 - Chorando Você (Glauco / Fernando Pereira / João Ribeiro)
02 - Ele e Maria (Othon Russo / Niquinho)
03 - Banca de Pobre (Rildo Hora / Marcos André)
04 - Bondinho do Pão de Açúcar (Victor Freire / A. C. de Albuquerque)
05 - Abc do Balanço (Orlandivo / Roberto Nascimento)
06 - Esse Seu Olhar (Tom Jobim) -- Só Em Teus Braços (Tom Jobim)
07 - Bossa Nova Nº 1 (José Maria de Abreu)
08 - Ódio (Aloísio Figueiredo / Nelson Figueiredo)
09 - Lamento Negro (Orlandivo / Roberto Jorge)
10 - Garota de Ipanema (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
11 - Vou Ficar Com Você (Sergio Napp)
12 - Brincando Gostei (Watel / Orlandivo)

"Uff,yeahh" Caetano makes my day.
Unbelievable! Yesterday I thought about this Barros/Silva Lp of my vinil collection -very worry about knowing about the poor condition of my Lp in hope to find a better one day and this morning I woke up and what see my eyes- Such things are only possible with Caetano-who elese can show better the history of the bossa nova years than Caetano.
Thanks so much.

Best wishes
