Geraldo Vandre - Hora de Lutar (1965)

Geraldo Vandre is really a gifted artist, it seems impossible for him to make a regular album, always delivering challenging listens, being also very popular among Loronixers. In spite being a lyrics oriented artist, his popularity is quite the same among friends in Brazil and also overseas. Hora de Lutar has the participation of Baden Powell, playing violao in two songs. Let's see.

This is Geraldo Vandre - Hora de Lutar (1965), for Continental, which is the second LP recorded by Geraldo Vandre, presented with the vinyl transfer of 1969 Disco Lar reissue. I don't know if Disco Lar took the original Continental cover artwork for this reissue, however, it is a very beautiful cover. Geraldo Vandre wrote most of the tunes with 06 - Asa Branca (Luiz Gonzaga / Humberto Teixeira) and 12 - Sonho de um Carnaval (Chico Buarque) as the exceptions. Personnel listing was taken from the essential Brazil On Guitar. Tracks include:

    Como complemento e fazendo justiça.
    Carlos Castilho é irmão do Bebeto Castilho, do Tamba.
    E foi quem formou o Quarteto em Cy, com o nome de As Bahianinhas.
    Loro também é Rádio Relógio.
