Taiguara - Taiguara (1965) | Debut LP

Caetano never stops to amaze Loronixers, now he goes on a sought after collectors item, Taiguara debut LP for Philips, 1965. Everybody knows that zecalouro is a newbie to Taiguara music and Caetano is providing us a great start with this album. Reviewers say this record is one of the best Taiguara albums. Thanks Caetano for providing this unique opportunity.

This is Taiguara - Taiguara (1965), for Philips, celebrated with comments of Luiz Eca, Edu Lobo and Alaide Costa throughout the artwork. Luiz Chavez, Zimbo Trio bassist, is in charge of arrangements and conduction. I did not have the chance to check how Taiguara music evolved in the forthcoming years until his passing in 1996 and I'm sure if he kept the pace, youth and swing he delivers at this debut, later releases would be all great. I'm making available a video sent by a Loronix friend with Taiguara performing Cavaleiro da Esperanca at Projeto Seis e Meia at Teatro Joao Caetano. Tracks include:

01 - Samba de Copo na Mão (Taiguara)
02 - Preciso Aprender a Ser Só (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
03 - Mulata É Pra Sambar (Taiguara)
04 - Graúna (Glaciliano Correia da Silva / Taiguara)
05 - Cecília (Taiguara)
