Walter Goncalves - Carnaval do Meu Tempo (1957)

Hello, good evening! We are really close to another Carnaval party in Brazil, scheduled earlier this time in the beginning of February. I will try to deliver some Carnaval posts and videos this year and I want to start with this one, a beauty of an album sent by moos, from The Netherlands, by the time we spent a great time in Rio when moss came to Carnaval last year. Let's see.

This is Walter Goncalves, Piano, Bateria e Coro - Carnaval do Meu Tempo (1957), for Polydor. Walter Goncalves featuring an artist never released before at Loronix, Walter Goncalves, a nightclub pianist, in charge of Boite Baccarat piano for many years. The whole idea of Carnaval do Meu Tempo is a repertoire of songs from the Carnaval from the old times. Take it as Carnaval music considered old in the year of 1957, 50 years ago. Do not miss Loronix Preview Center to check the track I like most, 02 - Touradas em Madrid (Joao de Barro / Alberto Ribeiro). Tracks include:

01 - Recordar (Aldacir Louro / Aloísio Marins / José Macedo) Samba
02 - Touradas Em Madrid (João de Barro / Alberto Ribeiro) Marcha
03 - É Bom Parar (Rubens Soares) Samba
04 - Miau Miau (Haroldo Lobo / Milton de Oliveira) Marcha
05 - Casta Suzana (Ary Barroso / Alcyr Pires Vermelho) Marcha
06 - Nega do Cabelo Duro (Rubens Soares / David Nasser) Samba
07 - Se a Lua Contasse (Custódio Mesquita) Marcha
08 - General da Banda (Sátiro de Melo / Tancredo Silva / José Alcides) Marcha
