Anamaria & Mauricio - No, No, No... Estamos na Nossa (1970)

Hello, good evening! This is the first out of a series of posts sponsored by a family, serving Brazilian music to the world since 2004. Meet Jose Ignacio Neto, grandchild of the legendary Nono Ze, owner, founder and maintainer of one of the first podcast services made available online, AVolta, which was all about Brazilian music. I said was, but the legacy remains on line as several episodes available at Odeo and Podcast Directory. I’m not sure the music is still available, but Ignacio’s writings really worth checking out.

Anyway, Jose Ignacio Neto speaks about the Ignacio’s story and I would like to invite you to engage his first contribution, which is Anamaria and Mauricio first album by Continental in 1972, arranged by Antonio Adolfo, Chico de Moraes, Arthur Verocai and Jongo Trio. According with JIN, a sought after by DJs in Europe and Japan, featuring a Repertoire chosen by Antonio Adolfo who appears to be playing electric piano on most selections. Let’s see.

Jose Ignacio Neto welcome message to Loronix community:

In 2004, despite his great age, my grandfather Jose Ignacio Brasileiro de Souza e Castro, was one of the world's very first podcasters and the first person to podcast rare old Brasilian music to a curious world.

His podcast Avolta Brazilian Rare Grooves created each week in his apartment in Copacabana, was soon cult listening around the globe. However, in mid 2005 he passed away and for some time the music was stopped.


All was not lost, however, 'Nono Ze' as we liked to call him, left his entire record collections of over 150,000 78s, LPs, and cassettes to my father Jose Ignacio Jr. My father soon began to take up the podcast where Nono Ze left off. So was born Avolta Jr. Alas, my father was unable to find time to keep the podcasts going for more than one year, and even Avolta Jr also stopped podcasting. Further there was a big tragedy. His secret apartment in Flamengo (where my grandmother once believed Nono Ze kept his mistress but where in reality he kept his gigantic record collection) suffered from a terrible fire which melted so many of those fantastic records. But, not all of them...


But now it's the time to introduce myself Jose Ignacio Brasileiro de Souza e Castro Neto - that means grandson. That's right I am now the third member of my family to assume the Avolta name, and zecalouro has kindly invited me to post some of Nono Ze's fantastic collection of rare Brazilian records to help and assist the amazing work already taken by Zeca and his Loronix friends.


So thank you Avolta fans for your patience and let's start with the first post (of many we hope...)

Hey Zeca, where did you find this guy? I thought he'd disappeared without a trace?

Really nice album, too!

Great, I hope to see many rare LP`s
of this collection at Loronix in the future. Unfortunaly this first post isn`t so rare, because it was reissued on CD a few years ago in the series "Arquivos Warner". However this CD is also out-of-print now.

Zeca,
Essa nova série de discos que você estará disponibilizando não terão a versão FLAC ?

'Anonymous' is right it was reissued on CD in Brazil but I'm sure 99% of the world population had no access to it during it's brief life on CD and even those who buy from dustygroove cannot afford everything!

A welcome post and all your great music is welcome to us outside of Brazil!

Hey Gary,

He just stumbled upon Loronix. The whole story about his grandfather and the albums burnt in Flamengo is also awe.

Cheers, zeca

Guilherme,

Os primeiros posts do nosso amigo podcaster não chegaram em FLAC. Vamos fazer uma campanha, quem sabe os próximos.

Mas é certo que JIN está trazendo coisas que nunca imaginavamos ouvir um dia.

Não perca!

Abraços, zeca

This is great!!!
I have heard some of the old podcasts, back when also Adam Curry (nothing to do with brasil, hehe) was introducing podcasts as a term.. and there weren't "many" podcasts on the www.
Somehow I lost the link or didn't have time anymore I can't remember.. now the family is back... great addition to already a great place as Loronix is.

many thanks to Zeca for the possibility he gave us to hear something new from the great AVOLTA! I'm listening from Italy, and i discovered Avolta's wonderful podcasts without kwowing anything of their history, that sounds so passionate and devoted to brazilian music. Thanks for your effort. Wish you all the best.
