Varios Artistas - Carnaval | Rio Quatrocentao (1964)

Hello, Good Evening! Let's try to make some Samba today, starting with this one, not exactly the kind of Samba that we use to release on Saturdays, but an album that really worth, presenting us a style that was very popular in Brazilian carnaval that just disappeared since the 80's. I'm talking about Marchinhas de Carnaval, a kind of Carnaval song with simple lyrics (to make it popular very fast), humor and melodies that will infect your head after the first hearing. Let's see.

This is Carnaval | Rio Quatrocentao (1964), for Copacabana, featuring Copacabana cast performing Marchinhas for the 1965 Carnaval. Rio Quatrocentao features several artists that we never spoke about at Loronix, including Dora Lopes (coming soon with a solo LP provided by Mr. G.), Gilberto Alves, Walter Stuart, among others. Copacabana dedicated the best resources to deliver this album, including Altamiro Carrilho and Moacyr Silva as producers, Pachequinho, Pernambuco, Ivan Paulo and Washington Marinho as arranger and a constellation of musicians. This is the right pick for the friends who want to travel back to 1965 carnaval and also the ones who want to have a panorama of the Marchinha music. The download package includes additional and nice scans of internal material. Tracks include:
