Hello, good evening! This is my tribute to the centenary of a singer never mentioned before at Loronix, but of extreme importance for Brazilian popular music, Mario Reis, considered the most original singer in the 30’s for his gentle singing style, which thirty years later had influenced Bossa Nova. Take in consideration that in the 30’s, it was necessary to sing very loud to address the shortcomings of the microphones, still rudimentary.
Mario Reis abandoned his singing career very early at the end of the 30’s and most of his albums were recorded in 78 rotations between the 20’s and 30’s. This is the last album recorded by Mario Reis and I’m really fascinated by his voice and his interpretation. I’m looking for some of Mario Reis recordings in 78RPM, they are probably amazing. Meanwhile, I invite you to know a great and probably unknown singer for many Loronix’s friends. Let’s see.
This is Mario Reis – Mario Reis (1971), for Odeon, featuring Mario Reis performing Sambas with his unique voice. Maestro Lindolpho Gaya delivers arrangements and also plays the role of musical director. Musicians in this session were not credited by Odeon. Tracks include:
01 - Cansei (Sinho)
02 - Amar a Uma Só Mulher (Sinho)
03 - Moreninha da Praia (João de Barro)
04 - Fui Louco (Alcebíades Barcelos "Bide")
05 - Nem É Bom Falar (Ismael Silva / Francisco Alves / Nilton Bastos)

11 - Se Você Jurar (Ismael Silva / Nilton Bastos / Francisco Alves)

o interessante seria encontrar a edição em cd na série dois em um dos dois últimos lps do mário reis este e o de 1960 - Mário Reis canta suas criações em Hi-Fi, nesta edição consta a faixa bolsa de amores do chico buarque que ele compôs especialmente para o disco de 1971, e que a censura podou da edição em lp, mas foi ressuscitada no cd.
