O Lirio Selvagem - Tete e O Lirio Selvagem (1978)

The friends from the very first beginning had the chance to know this album and this group at Loronix. It was the first album posted at Loronix, while the website was on development stage, being removed before the first month. I have been wondering to make a repost some weeks ago and I hope you have a good entertainment with this album, one of the first that I could buy with my own money.

This group comes from Mato Grosso, a Brazilian state inside the Pantanal and it is very influenced by the music of the countries that borders that region, Paraguay and Bolivia, being one of the most original creations on Brazilian popular music in the 70's.

This is O Lirio Selvagem - Tete e O Lirio Selvagem (1978), for Philips. O Lirio Selvagem is formed by four brothers, the Espindola's, Tete, Alzira, Geraldo and Marcelo (Celito). This is their first and only album and it is nice and delicious to hear, mixing Brazilian MPB from the 70's with Guaranias, which is the regional music from Paraguay. I like all tracks, but you can start with track, sorry, no hints this time, this is a solid album from the start to end. Tracks include:
