Doces Barbaros - Doces Barbaros (1976)

I have a nice connection with this album and I'm glad it is back to Loronix again. The first time it was made available, it lasts less than 24 hours. I made it by mistake, a few copies were already being sold by an on-line store and now it has gone definitively out of print, which is a shame, this is a classic. As I said, this album was important for my background as an amateur musician and also to drag my attention to Brazilian music and the four giants that share the role of main performer, the tropicalia legends Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and Gal Costa and Caetano's sister Maria Bethania. Let's see.

This is Doces Barbaros - Doces Barbaros (1976), for Philips, according with many reviews I read today, this is one of the nicest Brazilian popular music albums recorded in the 70's. The group and the concert were assembled to celebrate 10 years of their artistic career. I also learn something that I did not know today, a DVD was released with original footage of these concerts as a documentary featuring backstage scenes and live performances. Meanwhile, let's stay with this double album, in the spirit of Carmen Miranda Centennial. Tracks include:

a classic that everyone here should already have, in my opinion!!.. I have the LP and can provide info from the back cover, unless someone else beats me to it (or, even better, has a CD scan.. a little easier that photographing an LP cover).

Zeca,
I have a cd version which has lyrics and production credits and a photo from the performance, but doesn't say where it was recorded.
If you'd like me to scan it for you then let me know what resolution/colour depth etc. would be best.
abraços, and_lin.

Na verdade grandes aventureiros isso sim. Ainda mais no tempo que os baianos sofriam preconceito aqui no sul
