Sivuca - Um Pe no Asfalto, Um Pe na Buraqueira (1990)

This is a chance and also a hint to new friends or those who are taking the first steps with Brazilian music to get along with a great artist, last released at Loronix almost four months ago. I'm talking about Severino Dias de Oliveira, or just Sivuca, a special musician, arranger, accordionist, composer, being also a multi instrumentalist. Sivuca had a successful international career, performing with Radames Gnattali, Baden Powell, Toots Thielemans, among many others. Let's see.

This is Sivuca - Um Pe no Asfalto - Um Pe na Buraqueira (1990), for Copacabana, featuring Sivuca at his best, playing instrumental tunes with accordion. This album is delicious to hear and I cannot understand the reason to never being reissued on CD, such like the last album by Quarteto Negro. Loronix Preview Center features the title track, 02 - Um Pe no Asfalto, Um Pe na Buraqueira. I'm also bringing back from Loronix archives a music video with Sivuca performing Ceu e Mar in Sweden, 1968. Rildo Hora and Sivuca's wife Gloria Gadelha are special guests, as detailed on track listing. Tracks include:

01 - Bom e Bonito (Oswaldinho do Acordeom)
02 - Um Pé no Asfalto Outro na Buraqueira (Dominguinhos)
03 - Casa Amarela (Sivuca)
04 - Forró da Gente (Cecéu) with Glória Gadelha
