Sivuca - Sivuca (1979)

It has been a very long time since we made the last album by Sivuca, I'm not taking in consideration his last release with Rildo Hora, I’m talking about a Sivuca career album as main performer. Sivuca is all about Loronix and people always give nice feedback on his music. I think this album will take everybody by surprise, I took a lot of time digging the back cover to find the name of the guy who sings throughout the record and for my surprise, Sivuca sings lyrics and he makes it very beautiful. I hope people get pleased on hearing Sivuca again as I was today.

This is Sivuca - Sivuca (1979), for Copacabana, a great session with the atmosphere of being recorded like a friend's rehearsal. Sivuca has some special guests of note, such as Hermeto Pascoal on tracks Nosso Encontro and Sambura de Peixe Miudo, Glorinha Gadelha, which is Sivuca's wife also takes part at Joao e Maria, Doce Doce and Sambura de Peixe Miudo. Remaining musicians are not credit, but the back cover brings session pictures with Katia de Franca, Ivan Machado, Claudio Jorge, Ze Carlos and Teo Lima on Drums. Tracks include:

01 - Mãe África (Sivuca / Paulo César Pinheiro)
02 - A História Se Repete (Sivuca / Paulinho Tapajós)
03 - Nosso Encontro (Sivuca / Hermeto Pascoal) with Hermeto Pascoal
04 - Fogo Pagô (Sivuca / Humberto Teixeira)
05 - Doce Doce (Sivuca / Glória Gadelha) with Glória Gadelha
06 - Le Joies Du Matin (Sivuca / Glória Gadelha)
07 - O Dia Em Que El Rei Voltou à Terra de Santa Cruz (Sivuca / Paulinho Tapajós)
08 - João e Maria (Sivuca / Chico Buarque) with Glória Gadelha
09 - Barra Vai Quebrando (Sivuca / Glória Gadelha)

  1. Zeca, A very nice LP by Sivuca. He also really shines on the Cravo E Canela - Preco De Cada Um [1977 Pesquisa] as producer & player & the - Barra Limpa [1967 Verve] by Luiz Henrique. What a great artist!
    I love the Parisian feel to track two "A Historia Se Repete" & a lovely Waltz too. One - Two - Three, One - Two - Three, One - Two - Three.

  2. And track three "Nosso Encontro" is an amazing swipe at the "Blackplotation" style. So "Shaft" & on the accordion too. Super-Bad.

  3. Here I go again. Track six "Les Joies Du Matin" is such a perfect swipe at French Disco Fluff. So "Love Boat".
