Raimundo Fagner - Oros (1977)

Hello, good evening! I hope everybody had an excellent weekend, such as mine; full of new discoveries in terms of work and solid listens. Anyway, going straight to the point, we have here another great album recorded by Raimundo Fagner at Loronix. I have to admit that I never had the change to listen to this album as a whole, I knew only a few songs and I'm really impressed. Let's see.

This is Raimundo Fagner - Oros (1977), for Columbia, featuring Fagner, Hermeto Pascoal and a constellation of Brazilian musicians, including: Robertinho de Recife, Itibere, Nivaldo Ornellas, Marcio Montarroyos, Chico Batera, J.T. Meirelles, Mauro Senise, Dominguinhos, among many others. The repertoire brings Raimundo Fagner compositions with Fausto Nilo, Robertinho of Recife, Belchior and a song by Hermeto Pascoal, 08 - Fofoca. It was very difficult to choose the track available at Loronix Preview Center, I took the popular, 06 - Cebola Cortada. Tracks include:

  1. Zeca,
    Gosto muito desse disco do Fagner, adoro "Cebola Cortada". Se você puder dá uma olhada nos dois primeiros discos de Elba Ramalho ( "Ave de Prata - 1979" e "Capim do Vale - 1980" ) eles são excelentes.
