Quinteto Violado - A Feira (1974)

It was really kind of JOAO-SP sending the third Quinteto Violado career LP to our community. I did not have any previous contact with Quinteto Violado music before Loronix and among their three albums available; this is the one that I like most. Quinteto Violado has a vast discography, counting more than 80 albums, including compilations, singles and participations. JOAO-SP contributions are not over and from now one will be more focused on the Choro style, favorite of several friends. Let's see.

This is Quinteto Violado - A Feira (1974), for Philips, featuring this fantastic cover with a picture of a Feira in the border of a river in Northeast, which I don't have idea about the river name and where this photo was taken, our friends from the Northeast will provide the answers to us. The repertoire features songs by Luiz Gonzaga, Humberto Teixeira, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Geraldo Vandre, Fernando Lona and others, performed with nice instrumental and vocal arrangements. Tracks include:

01 - Assum Preto (Humberto Teixeira / Luis Gonzaga)
