I could have saved this album until Saturday, which is the day where Samba has the spotlights at Loronix. However, I could not resist. Even considered an extraordinary composer and Samba interpreter, Nelson Cavaquinho recorded only a few albums and this one was completely unknown for me. Nelson Cavaquinho has many admirers at Loronix and they should be quite enthusiastic about this disc. Let's see.
This is Nelson Cavaquinho - As Flores em Vida (1985), for Eldorado, a moving tribute and the last album recorded by Nelson Cavaquinho, with the participation of a constellation of Brazilian artists, including Paulinho da Viola, Cristina, Chico Buarque, Joao Bosco, Toquinho, among others. Nelson Cavaquinho performs in all tracks with the accompaniment of different guests. My highlight goes to the opening track Devia ser Condenada by Cartola and Nelson Cavaquinho, which is my selection to Loronix Preview Center. Tracks include:
01 - Devia Ser Condenada (Nelson Cavaquinho / Cartola) with Nelson Cavaquinho
02 - Dona Carola (Nelson Cavaquinho / Nourival Bahia / Walto Feitosa) with Chico Buarque / Nelson Cavaquinho

ReplyDeleteFantástico Zeca. Nunca vi esse disco, não sabia nem que existia. Sem o seu trabalho, é possível que não soubesse nunca.
