Hello, good evening! Saturday is Samba and Samba is Pedrinho Rodrigues, here we go again on another album by this great and pretty underrated Samba Interpreter. This is the first out of two albums titled "Brasil... Sambe ou se Mande" released in the beginning of the 70's decade. Let's see.This is Pedrinho Rodrigues e Os Nacionais - Brasil... Sambe ou Se Mande (1973), for Equipe. Samba albums released in the early 70's are my favorites; they have some kind of connection with the Bossa Nova from the 60's. They are mellow, sweet and sometimes the lyrics are naive, deliciously naive by the way. This album was sent by the great Moos from the Netherlands, one of the greatest collectors and Brazilian music enthusiasts I have ever seen outside of Brazil. Thanks once again Moos. Tracks include:
01 - Ladrao que Entra na Casa de Pobre So Leva Susto
02 - Baba de Quiabo
03 - Moro na Roca
04 - Ninguem Tasca
05 - Minha Viola
06 - Cosa Nostra
07 - Batuque na Cozinha
08 - Balanca Povo
09 - Esperancas Perdidas
10 - No na Cana
You rock! Thank you!

Zeca, grande post. O Pedrinho Rodrigues é um dos meus cantores de samba favoritos graças ao Loronix.

An interesting album- the prominence of "verde e amarelo"on the cover, as well as the name of the group "the nationals", followed by the name of the album--"Brasil, either samba or leave" all lead me to believe this Pedrinho Rodrigues character is what was called an "adesista" or "tool" of the military regime that was in full force in 1973. Still an alright album though.
ReplyDeleteit's odd that the years of the dictatorship were so good for samba.
also-the guy who was in charge of choosing the musical repertoire for this album owns a "sebo" in downtown rio.
