Severino Araujo e Orquestra Tabajara - Brasil (1981)

Hello, Good Evening! It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a parrot this week. Especially today, managing customers and also working on features to Loronix, amazing features by the way. What a day, I lost a computer an hour ago, not a big deal, but I will need to spend a lot of time fixing it. Life has been really busy down here.

Anyway, better start with something very positive and happy, such like the legendary Orquestra Tabajara by the mighty Maestro Severino Araujo, leader and founder of Orquestra Tabajara. Let's see.

This is Severino Araujo e Orquestra Tabajara - Brasil (1981), for Phonodisc. Orquestra Tabajara is active since 1937 and it is probably the oldest Brazilian orchestra in activity. I think Maestro Severino Araujo and his orchestra need to be released more often, with attention on their several 78 rpm as main performers or backing renowned artists. Tracks include:

01 - Morena Boca de Ouro (Ary Barroso)
02 - Despedida de Mangueira (Aldo Cabral / Benedito Lacerda)
03 - Relembrando o Norte (Severino Araujo)
04 - Pastorinhas (Joao de Barro / Noel Rosa)
05 - Tatu Subiu no Pau (Eduardo Souto)
06 - Zé Pereira (Severino Araujo)
07 - Vassourinhas (Clube Carnavalesco Mixto Vassourinhas)
08 - Paraquedista (Jose Leocadio)
09 - Praça Onze (Herivelto Martins / Grande Otelo)
10 - Puladinho (Severino Araujo)
11 - Maxixando (Geraldo Medeiros / Carvalhinho)
12 - Recife Capital do Frevo (Geraldo Medeiros)
