Varios Artistas - Show Escola Naval (1959)

Hello, good evening! This is exactly what you are thinking ... the history of Bossa Nova right in front of you. Everybody was waiting for this anthological concert and this post landmarks a series of events scheduled at Loronix to celebrate 50 years of Bossa Nova, since the release of Elizeth Cardoso´s - Cancao do Amor Demais in 1958, which is considered the beginning of the of Bossa Nova movement. Thanks to everybody involved on the effort of bringing this historical document to Loronix and don't miss Caetano Rodrigues special celebration gift when we reach 2 million hits tomorrow. Let's see.

This is Show da Escola Naval (1959), featuring the live recording of the anthological Bossa Nova concert produced by Ronaldo Boscoli at the Escola Naval, Rio de Janeiro, November 13, 1959, featuring Alaide Costa, Carlos Lyra, Chico Feitosa, Irmãos Castro Neves (Oscar, Mário & Ico), Lúcio Alves, Luiz Eça, Roberto Menescal and Sylvinha Telles. Escola Naval is a military facility in Rio de Janeiro and you should agree this is not a usual place to hold a Bossa Nova concert. The audience was perhaps a blend of military and Bossa Nova fans, and according with Ruy Castro's Chega de Saudade book, the theater had a capacity of 600 seats and almost 1,000 people attended.

This live recording has approximately 65 minutes running time and tons of details that are sure to amaze us, like the way some classical songs were performed in the beginning, several interesting conversations between the performers, with some really nice moments with Lucio Alves and Sylvinha Telles and Ronaldo Boscoli effort to define Bossa Nova to this brand new 1958 audience. I urge Loronixers to use comment section for feedback and corrections to this really important document, our first Bossa Nova anniversary event. Tracks include:
