Luiz Arruda Paes e Sua Orquestra - Brasil Moreno (1960)

Hello, good evening! Here we go on another album by one of the Brazilian maestros that I like most, Luiz Arruda Paes. Before creating Loronix, the only album I knew was the acclaimed Brasil Dia e Noite, by the way, the only Luiz Arruda Paes record that had a CD reissue. Since them, with the great help of Caetano Rodrigues and some finds on old vinyl shops, we have been gradually filling up most of his discography. I think this one is pretty unknown to everybody, keeping the quality of every Luiz Arruda Paes release. Let's see.

This is Luiz Arruda Paes e Sua Orquestra - Brasil Moreno (1960), for Odeon. Brasil Moreno is based on a theme, which is the Brazilian Mulata, such as this beautiful girl at the front cover. Ary Barroso is also very well represented via the first and title track Brasil Moreno and also 07 - Faceira and 12 - No Tabuleiro da Baiana. It has been a lot of time since we released an orchestra album at Loronix and I think Luiz Arruda Paes is a great pick to get back to the style. Tracks include:

01 - Brasil Moreno (Ary Barroso / Luis Peixoto)
02 - Carinho e Amor (Tito Madi)
03 - Não Tenho Lágrimas (Milton de Oliveira / Max Bulhões)
04 - Ave Maria no Morro (Herivelto Martins)
05 - São Salvador (Dorival Caymmi)
06 - A Felicidade (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
07 - Faceira (Ary Barroso)
08 - Fim de Caso (Dolores Duran)
09 - Gimba (Jorge Kaszas / Gianfrancesco Guarnieri)
10 - Samba Triste (Baden Powell / Billy Blanco)
11 - No Tabuleiro da Baiana (Ary Barroso)
12 - Feitio de Oração (Noel Rosa / Vadico)
