Conjunto Farroupilha - Conjunto Farroupilha (EP 45rpm)

Wonderful. I always thought I was right to pick some singles and EPs, but this album makes me feel that I'm 100% right. There are several treasures to discover on these little records and this one is a great surprise. Never gave a chance to it and when I gave it a spin today it was magic.

This is Os Farroupilhas - Os Farroupilhas EP 45rpm, for Columbia, featuring four tracks of pure beauty, nice repertoire and amazing voice arrangements. Little I know about this album, such as personnel and even release date, perhaps it was made in the early 60’s; it has much of Bossa Nova on it. Tracks include:

01 - Nunca (Lupscinio Rodrigues)
02 - Noites de Moscou (D.P. arrangements & Lyrics Inah Bangel)
03 - Sabado em Copacabana (Dorival Caymmi / Carlos Guinle)
04 - Meu Rio Grande (Garoto)

Zeca this compacto is really nice. I take time to listen to- nice vocal with great instruments - beautiful sax (sounds like H. Costita) and great guitar.

Thank you very much
Best wishes

bossanovadreamer,

How are you?

Everything works great with this compacto. I think I will give more attention to Conjunto Farroupilha career albums from now on.

Thanks for the feedback on this great music.

Cheers, zeca

A capa parece dos anos 50?
Mas a batida da viola e o saxo parecem bem BN???

Rapaz, só ontem que consegui ouvir esse EP. Que disco maravilhoso!!
Um equilíbrio perfeito entre vocal e instrumental. Dificil saber em qual prestar mais atenção.
E a vocalista tem uma das mais belas vozes que já ouví.
IMPERDIVEL!

Esse EP foi lançado em 1960. "Nunca", "Sábado em copacabana" e "Meu Rio Grande" foram tirados do LP "Os Farroupilhas em HI-FI" (1960). "Noites de Moscou" foi tirado de um 78 rpm lançado em 1959 que tinha "Eine Kleine Cha Cha Cha" do outro lado.
