Quarteto de Alberto Mota - Quarteto de Alberto Mota (1963)

Here we go on another Caetano Rodrigues selection from his last set of contributions. This time, Caetano was in charge of making the pick of the day among his albums and I think he could not make better than bringing back this legendary musician from the Amazon region, city of Belem do Para, which is Alberto Mota and his quartet.

This is Quarteto de Alberto Mota - Quarteto de Alberto Mota (1963), for Polydor. I would like to dedicate this album to a special friend, Joaquim Paes Henriques and his grandson Betho Henriques. Joaquim Paes Henrique is the drummer of this session, he recently found the albums he recorded with Alberto Mota at Loronix and is pleased by the opportunity to her his music again after a long time. Joaquim Paes Henriques has 72 years. It is always amazing when Loronix can bring back such good memories for Brazilian musicians. Tracks include:
