Os Originais do Samba - Pra que Tristeza (1976)

Hello, Good Evening! Closing another Samba weekend at Loronix I would like to show an album that will make even the day of those how never were in the mood of Samba. This album is part of my childhood and as a little parrot I could not evaluate how these guys are really great. Os Originais do Samba are really "professional", this album has nice vocal and instrumental arrangements and brings a tune that Brazilians will remember very fast. Let's see.

This is Os Originais do Samba - Pra que Tristeza (1974), for RCA Victor. Quimsy would say that Os Originais do Samba delivers an infectious Samba groove. I will only say that you will kick around the apartment, reaching the ceiling at some peaks. It is impossible to talk about this album with no mention to Tragedia no Fundo do Mar, this music was really a blockbuster by the release time. It has been a long time since my last hearing and I thought it was more accelerated, but it has smooth and nice arrangements by Maestro Elcio Alvares with direction in charge of Wilson Miranda. Tracks include:

01 - Saudade e Flores (Adeílton Alves / Nilton Pereira de Castro)
02 - Samba do "Arnesto" (Adoniran Barbosa / Alocin)
03 - Cabeça Que Não Tem Juízo (Aloísio)
04 - Tragédia no Fundo do Mar (Assassinato do Camarão) (Zeré / Ibrain)
05 - Pra Que Tristeza (Delcio Carvalho)
06 - Mulata Faceira (Martinho da Vila)
07 - Boato (Carlos Geraldo / B. J. Aroldo / Netinho)
08 - Canto de Amor (Delcio Carvalho / Barbosa da Silva)
09 - Buchicho (Luis Carlos / Murilo Penha "Bidi")
10 - Complicação (Murilo Penha "Bidi" / Mussum / Luis Carlos)
11 - Quem Me Dera (Beto Scala / São Beto)
12 - Não Sei de Nada (Wando)
