Tamba 4 - Tamba 4 (1969) | Recorded in Mexico

When I was planning with Caetano our next Tuesday All Countries at Loronix homage we spent a lot of time trying to realize how great would be Bossa Nova in Mexico and how many albums were recorded in Mexico by Brazilian artists. By heart, I can list, Tamba Trio, Leny Andrade, Joao Gilberto, Carlos Lyra and many others. Our estimate is that several unknown albums are available in Mexico, recorded by Brazilian artists or Bossa Nova albums recorded by Mexican musicians. That's the spirit of All Countries at Loronix, to identify music and also create links to music websites to our community and develop knowledge exchange with both countries.

That's why the closing post today is dedicated to a Brazilian group recording Brazilian music in the country that should bring most information though our initiative. Mexico.

This is Tamba 4 - Tamba 4 (1969), for Orfeon Videovox (Mexico). The last Tamba 4 LP, which is the continuation of Tamba Trio as a quartet. For this last LP, Tamba 4 features Tamba Trio members Bebeto and Ohana plus Laercio de Freitas and Dorio Ferreira, the production is in charge of Mariano Rivera Conde. Thanks Caetano for making Tamba 4 available to Loronixers. Tracks include:

  3. Zeca, Thanks for some more good instrumental! In your comments, you call this album "Tamba 4", but in the track ID's you call it "Pais Tropical". The tracks are the same, but in different orders. Is one a reissue? Different cover?

    Thanks, Flat

  4. Flautist,

    Oh! Bad. This is a mistake of mine. I took track list info from a website that was probably referencing a reissue made in 1995 as Pais Tropical. Anyway, the music is exactly the same with tracks order as the exception.

    Cheers, zeca

  5. cvillos, infelizmente esse album não tem Luizinho. O que me causou surpresa foi o fato de não ter perdido aquela tocada marcante do Tamba.
    Eu gosto muito de Pensando, Zazueira e Veracruz.
    Mas sinto falta do brilho do piano do Luizinho.

  7. I LOVE this album....I've always had a crappy Mexican CD budget reissue with horrible sound on the left channel and OK sound on the right, and sides one and two reversed in order...called "Pais Tropical"....the same one Zeca is referring to!! Anyway, my favorite version of "Correnteza" is on this LP and "Pensando" is incredible as well.
