Baden Powell & Maria D'Apparecida - Maria D'Apparecida Chante Baden Powell (1977)

Let's close this first day of Caetano Rodrigues contribution with a very curious record, a collaboration between Baden Powell and the singer Maria D'Apparecida. As Caetano's music arrived today, I did not research accordingly, but any recording with Baden Powell is basically a must get and I cannot resist to something that I never see before.

This is Baden Powell & Maria D'Apparecida - Maria D'Apparecida Chante Baden Powell (1979), for Carabine / Liberty (France). Maria D'Apparecida was a classical singer that switched to popular after a car accident in France. I'm not sure if she was born in France of Brazil, although she sings in Portuguese with no accent. I like her singing, not perfect from a technical point of view, but she has that feeling we find on singers like Thelma Soares and Marisa Barroso.

The repertoire brings 12 Baden Powell compositions, mainly songs from his partnership with Paulo Cesar Pinheiro. Baden Powell also plays guitar in all tracks. I'm showing the original LP cover provided by Caetano Rodrigues with the little kid at the beach and the CD issue showing Baden and Maria D'Apparecida together. Thanks Caetano for this really not easy to see Baden Powell album. Tracks include:
