Codo - Codo e o Violao | Serie Talento Brasileiro 3 (1977)

Hello, good evening! I want start the day with a great find, courtesy zecalouro's mother, gradually improving her contributions and now deserves the title of a good vinyl hunter. She comes this time showing an important musician never released before at Loronix, Clodoaldo Brito, widely known as Codo, a Brazilian guitarist and composer from the state of Bahia. Codo had a active career as musician, recording eight albums as main performer, two singles and more than 90 compositions. Let's see.

This is Codo - Codo e o Violao | Serie Talento Brasileiro 3 (1977), for CID, featuring six instrumental renditions of Brazilian standards and six Codo compositions, the ones that I like most. Codo delivers a unique playing style, accompanied by not credited musicians. My highlight goes to 07 - Brincando com as Cordas (Codo), which is the selected Loronix Preview Center track. I'm convinced everybody should have a solid entertainment with this first album and Codo forthcoming releases at Loronix. Tracks include:

01 - Quadradinho (Codó)
02 - Viola Enluarada (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
03 - Beija-me (Roberto Martins / Mário Rossi)
04 - Aos Pés da Cruz (Zé da Zilda / Marino Pinto)
05 - Gamadinho (Codó)
06 - Capoeira Três (Codó)
07 - Brincando Com as Cordas (Codó)
08 - Samba Mesmo (Codó)
09 - Confinça (Alcebíades Nogueira / Luis de França)
10 - Alegria Alegria (Caetano Veloso)
11 - Canção de Amor (Elano de Paula / Chocolate)
12 - Minha Favela (Codó / Francisco Dias Pinto)
