Os Cariocas - O Melhor de Os Cariocas (1989)

Hello, good evening! We were informed by cvllos that Jedir Pimentel has passed today. Jedir Pimentel had a major participation on bringing Os Cariocas together on a recording studio after an hiatus of 24 years, started with their last release for Philips in 1966, until the first after many years, in 1990 for Som Livre, Minha Namorada. This is Loronix tribute for Jedir Pimental and his passion to Os Cariocas and Brazilian music.

This is Os Cariocas - O Melhor de Os Cariocas (1989), for Philips, featuring "the best of" Os Cariocas on their Philips years, four albums, being the first released at 1963, and the last in 1965. For reasons that I could not check, O Melhor de Os Cariocas does not includes their last Philips release, Arte / Vozes (1966). Anyway, if those albums are fantastic alone, a compilation with remastered songs taken from them should be really worth checking. Tracks include:

OS CARIOCAS

Severino Filho
(piano, instrumental and vocal arrangements, vocals)
Badeco

Quarteta
