Os Namorados | 78rpm - Sinter 532 (1953) featuring Joao Donato

This is a very early Joao Donato recording as member of Os Namorados, featuring an anthological recording of Eu Quero um Samba with Joao Donato performing at the accordion with a very similar rhythm introduced by Joao Gilberto five years later at Chega de Saudade recording. It is truly amazing that nobody gave attention to this recording. Perhaps it was so modern that nobody understood what Joao Donato was making on his accordion.

This is Os Namorados | 78rpm - Sinter 532 (1953), featuring the accordion of Joao Donato with the obscure vocal and instrumental group Os Namorados. Tracks include:

01 - Eu Quero um Samba (Haroldo Barbosa / Janeth de Almeida)
02 - Tres Aves Marias (Anibal Guimaraes)

Que acordeon é esse gente? Absolutamente fantástico o João Donato. Já sabia tudo de bola.Se a gente repassar essa gravação para a que o João Gilberto fez mais tarde da mesma música vai ver que a batida é essa mesma.
