Zimbo Trio - Fianca (1981)

There is a story behind this post. I received this album from a guy who lives in my building, by the way, a well-known musician. I did not take it from his hands; he puts on an envelope at the lobby. When I open the envelope I saw this enigmatic logo with the white background and no words. I just left behind, deciding to give a chance to understand what it was later.

However, the symbol had something strange, looking familiar, as I had the chance to see it many times before. The answer came this week when I was visiting the website of our good friend Justin. Take a look at Justin logo, here or as a thumbnail in the left. Very wise of Justin to turn it upside down making this "F" as a "J".

After this whole story, it was the time to check the LP again to learn more about this symbol and it was a great surprise to understand that "F" belongs to a Brazilian company called Fianca and the album was Fianca Christmas gift recorded by Zimbo Trio.

This is Zimbo Trio - Fianca (1981), for Fianca. Little I know about this company and this album, but seems to me it is Zimbo Trio - FM Stereo, released in 1974 with some modifications, there are five tracks not listed on FM Stereo. I would like to have both albums to check if the common tracks are from the same 1974 session or different. Anyway, it is a Zimbo Trio LP that I did not know it was recorded. Thanks to my mysterious neighbor. Tracks include:

01 - Esse Cara
02 - Na Tonga da Mironga do Kabulete (*)
03 - Cotidiano Nr. 2 (*)
04 - Trem das Onze
05 - Se e Pecado Sambar
06 - Apesar de Voce (*)
07 - Que Maravilha - Chove Chuva - Mas que Nada
08 - Falei e Disse (*)
09 - Tristeza Pe no Chao
10 - Folhas Secas
11 - Retalho de Cetim (*)
12 - Orgulho de um Sambista
13 - Ana Luiza
14 - Carinhoso

(*) Not available at Zimbo Trio - FM Stereo (1974).

Generalissimo:

Another rare item finds it's way to Loronixon. I didn't know about this recording. It's not listed in most of the Zimbo discographies I've seen. Thanks for making it available.

Your Humble Servant,
JC

Nunca vi "Esse Cara" mais bonito nem um "Trem das Onze" mais chique!

Valeu cada byte baixado!

I've never seen "Esse Cara" ("This Guy") more handsome or "Trem das Onze" ("Eleven O'Clock Train") more sofisticated.

Worth each byte downloaded.

Hi Zeca, I could not resist using this lovely symbol to stand for my initials "JT".

Meu caro Zeca,

Parabéns pelo blog, camarada. Tem enriquecido muito a minha vida musical.
Vi esse álbum, achei interessantíssimo, mas não vi o link pra baixá-lo.
Poderia disponibilizá-lo?

Um abração.

Fernando,

Um errinho pequeno de digitação um grande estrago.

Mas já está resolvido.

Isso pode acontecer nas próximas semanas pois estou refazendo algumas coisas. Só mesmo avisando para que eu tome conhecimento.

Obrigado.

Abraços, zeca
