Erlon Chaves - Banda Veneno Internacional (1972)

Hello, good evening! I want to start today with the very successful formula of releasing an important artist with few albums available at Loronix or not released for a long time, such as we did with the great Dez Bilhoes de Neuronios LP by Paulinho Nogueira. It is time to get back our attention again to Erlon Chaves, last released on February 2006, almost a year. Erlon Chaves is a very important maestro, with several solo records and participations as arranger on other artists albums, such as: Elis Regina, Wilson Simonal, Geraldo Vandre, Alaide Costa and many others. Let's see.

This is Erlon Chaves - Banda Veneno Internacional (1972), for Fontana, Philips subsidiary, featuring not credited musicians performing a repertoire of well-known international tunes, a choir using voice as instruments and lyrics on a few tracks. This is the first out of five albums in the same concept. Maestro Erlon Chaves arrangements to this series are based on funk music with influences of Samba and Rock. The result is a very dancing album with highlights to bass playing and creative arrangements. Tracks include:

01 - I Love You Baby (Vangarde / King) Crying (Bouwens)
02 - The Girl From Paramaribo (Berlipp)
03 - If You Never Say Goodbye (Burt Bacharach / David) Café Regio's (Hayes)
04 - Pop Concerto Show (Senneville / Toussaint) Summer Holiday (Temple / Clyde)
05 - Viens Avec Nous (Triangle) Floy Joy (Robinson)
06 - Concerto Pour Un Eté (Morisod)
07 - Velvet Mornings (Contandinos / Vlavianos) Shabala (François / Darmor)

11 - Long Ago Tomorrow (Burt Bacharach / David) Alone Again (Naturally) (Sullivan)
