Ademilde Fonseca - Choros Famosos (1960)

This is to address a very old request made by Loronixers since the beginning, an album by Ademilde Fonseca, notably the best Brazilian interpreter of Chorinhos, which are well-known instrumental Choros with lyrics. Actually, this is something that I learned with Loronix, the difference between Choro and Chorinho. Choro does not have lyrics; Choro is instrumental music, while Chorinhos are well-known Choros with Lyrics. Let's see.

This is Ademilde Fonseca - Choros Famosos (1960), for Philips, featuring a very well selected repertoire of Choros performed by Ademilde Fonseca. I think it will be very nice to hear how Ademilde Fonseca sings classics like Tico-Tico no Fuba, Apanhei-te Cavaquinho, Carinhoso, Delicado and several other Choro standards. Choro Famosos has Vadico as musical director. I urge Loronixers to feedback this release, since it is the first in the style. Tracks include:

01 - Tico-tico no fubá (Eurico Barreiros / Zequinha de Abreu)
02 - Sonhando (K-Ximbinho)
03 - Dinorah (B.Lacerda / Viuva Cacilda L. Porto)
04 - Apanhei-te cavaquinho (B.Lacerda / D.Oliveira / Ernesto Nazareth)
05 - Pedacinhos do céu (Miguel Lima / Waldir Azevedo)
06 - Sonoroso (Del Loro / K-Ximbinho)
07 - Flor do abacate (Felippe Tedesco / Álvaro Sandim)
08 - O que vier eu traço (Zé Maria / Alvaiade)
09 - Comigo é assim (José Menezes / Luiz Bittencourt)
10 - Carinhoso (Pixinguinha / João de Barro)
11 - Doce melodia (Abel Ferreira / Luiz Antônio)
12 - Delicado (Ary Vieira / Waldir Azevedo)

Chorinho sung by Ademilde Fonseca surely sparks such a desire to go back to the time life was simple and meeting with family and friends was so important. Thanks Zeca for this stunning LP.

Excellent post,
Please put up more choro albums! There are so many great recordings on this genre waiting to be discovered

E ainda tem gente que critica a Ademilde por cantar um gênero que é instrumental por natureza. Quanta bobagem...

Obrigado pelo post, Zeca. Os discos dela são "hard to find".

Abs.
