I spent a great time with Tranka last Friday, he told me that Joao Roberto Kelly is celebrating this month 50th years of a great artist career dedicated to Brazilian music. Joao Roberto Kelly is a great composer, great musician and this is Loronix homage to the 50th anniversary of Joao Roberto Kelly artist career, by the way, today is Saturday and Saturday is Loronix Samba day. Let's see.
This is Joao Roberto Kelly - Joao Roberto Kelly (1974), for Odeon, featuring Joao Roberto Kelly performing the best of his repertoire, including the well-known 06 - Boato, 12 - Gamacao and the track that I like most on this album, available at Loronix Preview Center 10 - Fogo de Palha. Maestro Geraldo Vespar delivers unique arrangments to Joao Roberto Kelly songs. Odeon did not credit personnel. Tracks include:
01 - Está Com Raiva (João Roberto Kelly)
02 - Le Sambon (Ulalá) (J. D. Bicalho / Paulo Gesta)
03 - Sambeiro de Ipanema (João Roberto Kelly)
04 - Dor de Cotovelo (João Roberto Kelly)
05 - Rapaz Folgado (Noel Rosa)
06 - Boato (João Roberto Kelly)
07 - Fina Flor do Zepellim (João Roberto Kelly)
08 - Hippie de Boutique (João Roberto Kelly)
09 - Mormaço (João Roberto Kelly)
10 - Fogo de Palha (João Roberto Kelly)
11 - Frankstein (Wilson Batista)
12 - Gamação (João Roberto Kelly)
This is a very fine record by Joao
ReplyDeleteRoberto Kelly, I like the relaxed
version of "Boato" on this recording very much.
Wow! Great post Zeca! Loving it!
ReplyDeleteWe had two solid samba LPs in a row. Joao Roberto Kelly and Cartola. I cannot decide which one I like most, but Cartola really took me by surprise.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it is a not announced Samba Saturday at Loronix. Missed this chance.
Cheers, zeca
Thanks a lot for this one Zeca,Joao Roberto Kelly makes my day again.
ReplyDeleteEven singing in French he remains on his feet.
Just listened this album. It is great although I normally I don't like so much this keysounds but they sound very nice in the contrast to the piano- This album makes a lot of fun-it rolls.
ReplyDeleteGreat post Zeca.
Best wishes
