Marlene, Toquinho & Gianfrancesco Guarnieri - Botequim (1973)

Hello, good evening! I’m perhaps in the mood of addressing long time requests made by our community. That’s what happened in the last post by Sergio Ricardo and his sought after collaboration with Piri Reis and friends. And it happens again today with this unknown but fertile collaboration between Toquinho and Gianfrancesco Sigfrido Benedetto Marinenghi de Guarnieri, mostly known as Gianfrancesco Guarnieri, an important Brazilian actor and play writer.

In spite of being not credited as main performer at Botequim, Marlene, the great diva of the golden Radio Nacional years make the difference here. That’s why I decided to include her name as main performer at Loronix. Let’s see.

This is Marlene, Toquinho & Gianfrancesco Guarnieri – Botequim (1973), for RGE, featuring music composed by Toquinho and Gianfrancesco Guarnieri for three Guarnieri plays, Botequim, Castro Alves pede Passagem and Um Grito Parado no Ar. Loronixer’s Brazilian friends will immediately associate Gianfrancesco Guarnieri with the play Eles Nao usam Black Tie, written eight years later in 1981, an acknowledged play inside and outside Brazil. This is a nice album with Marlene delivering beautiful singing and Toquinho playing very solid. Tracks include:
