Sergio Ricardo - Piri, Fred, Cassio, Franklin e Paulinho de Camafeu com Sergio Ricardo (1973)


Hello, good evening! I had an amazing week, with some problems in the middle, but the overall picture was very positive. And today was a special day. I was interviewed by a group of very nice friends, Loronixer’s friends by the way. They are running a documentary about the legendary Brazilian pianist Dom Salvador, which is also a very good friend of our community. I met Dom Salvador today and we spoke about music and about the albums Dom is having the opportunity to hear again via Loronix. Dom Salvador is a giant and a very kind gentleman. Thanks a lot Dom.

And my meeting with Dom Salvador was the end of my participation. However, I was invited to continue with the group and visit Elza Soares at her place in Copacabana to record the encounter of Don Salvador and Elza Soares after several years. Obviously, I took a fraction of a second to say “yes” and could stay for a couple of hours with Elza Soares, a marvelous woman who radiates peace and energy. Elza Soares is a great artist and a great human being.

I left the group in euphoria, having in mind something solid to Loronix today. And I could find for an unbelievable price one of most requested albums by our community featuring the Sergio Ricardo and Piri Reis delivering a surprisingly record that you cannot miss. Let’s see.

This is Sergio Ricardo - Piri, Fred, Cassio Franklin e Paulinho de Camafeu com Sergio Ricardo (1973), for Continental. I’m sure this is an awaited released by many friends. The community is always right, we have here a very nice album featuring only acoustic instruments and Sergio Ricardo compositions. It is so cool and different that makes it very hard to describe. I invite you to check a teaser track at Loronix Preview Center, just to make sure you will come back here. Tracks include:
