Paulo Freire - Orgao + Batucada = Samba (1978)

Hello, good evening! I'm really satisfied with the quality of the music we had at Loronix across the last days. The idea is to slow down a little bit the release of new music and keep a strong pace on links reactivation. I think this new approach is really good, as the feedback received has been positive with no exceptions. Anyway, today is Saturday and we need some relaxation, after all, Saturday is the day of Samba at Loronix. Let's see.

This is Paulo Freire - Orgao + Batucada = Samba (1978), for Copacabana, featuring the Brazilian organist Paulo Freire, probably unknown to many friends. Paulo Freire delivers infectious Samba grooves on top of a Samba repertoire full of very popular songs. I must admit this album is my first experience with Paulo Freire, which is some kind of late Andre Penazzi, very active on recordings throughout the 70's. This album works according to what is proposed to be and I believe it is a great treat for those who like organ playing with Samba rhythm. Tracks include:

01 - Ilha de Maré (Walmir Lima / Lupa)
02 - Osso Duro de Roer (Benito di Paula) Assobiar Ou Chupar Cana (Benito di Paula)
