I spent much of the last forty-eight hours thinking about on this post and this text, perhaps one of the most planned posts ever at Loronix. Different approaches were developed, but now I think it is better to forget all plans and write everything from scratch, instinctively on a single breath. I'm pleased to introduce to our community Jorge Mello, musician, composer, music researcher, teacher, book writer and a major reference of the works of Anibal Augusto Sardinha, also known as Garoto.It is very easy to get along with Jorge Mello's writing about Garoto and other Brazilian music subjects at the Internet. Sovaco de Cobra published a series of posts called O Cancioneiro de Garoto, with full Jorge Mello's support. You can also reach Daniella Thompson's Musica Brasiliensis website with several Jorge Mello's contributions, such as this amazing writing about Trio Surdina.
At Loronix, I'm making a video with excerpts of ESPN Brasil Pontape Inicial show dedicated to Bossa Nova with the participation of Jorge Mello. It is a nice video, with ESPN friends talking a little bit about Loronix, thanks to Wilson Libutti for referencing Loronix to ESPN Pontape Inicial friends.
Well, thanks a lot Jorge. I'm sure your great sharing spirit will make a lot of difference to Loronix in the forthcoming days, actually forthcoming months. Maybe years?
Let’s watch the video, you can click on individual parts or watch the whole thing from the first one.

Wow. I am simply amazed that a sports channel like ESPN dedicates a show to music in general - and bossa nova in particular!
In the United States, this would NEVER EVER happen. All credits to Brazil for this! Even in the off-seasons, sports networks here talk about nothing but sports, period. What a difference a culture makes. Thanks for posting this!
yes mate, some good advertisements at ESPN! Deus salve Loronix!
By the way, estou procurando algum LP do Di Melo no seu blog, mas não achei.
Tambem estou querendo encontrar o Erlon Chaves e a sua Banda Veneno da Philips 1971.
Tive que ir da Bolívia até o Rio pra procurar na Cinelândia, na Sete de Setembro, na Modern Sound... mas ninguem tem o Di Melo nem o Erlon Chaves 1971 da Philips. Nem você!
Um abraço da Espanha.
Lembrando que o programa foi em homenagem ao Newton Mendonça.
O Jorge é um dos autores do livro "Caminhos Cruzados" com Marcelo Camara e Rogério Guimarães, recém lançado.
Que maravlha!
Sensacional esse programa.
Parabéns Zeca por ter postado esse vídeo pra gente poder ver o grande Jorge Mello falando do Newton Mentonça, uma figura pouco conhecida na nossa música.
DI MELLO vc deve encontrar aqui:
