Hello, good evening! Os Novos Baianos is an important a vocal and instrumental group formed in the late 1960's in Bahia that never had an album available at Loronix. I could not believe when I could not find a single album when browsing the archives today. These guys played a very important role on blending traditional Brazilian genres -- such as Samba, Choro, Frevo -- with rock and popular music. When I was trying to make a life as musician, Os Novos Baianos were a strong influence and I got surprised today when I took this album for a spin. Their music is still fresh. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this album never had a chance of being reissued in CD and I'm sure it will take everybody by surprise. Let's see.This is Os Novos Baianos - Caia na Estrada e Perigas Ver (1976), for Tapecar, featuring Baby Consuelo, Paulinho Boca de Cantor, Galvao and Pepeu Gomes, which is probably their first record without Moraes Moreira that left the group earlier. By the way, Os Novos Baianos were formed in the end of the 60's by Moraes Moreira, Baby Consuelo, Galvao and Paulinho Boca de Cantor. Pepeu Gomes is a latecomer; he was already a professional musician in 1969 and was invited to join Os Novos Baianos after his performance with Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso at Barra 69 Show. Anyway, I don't want to make you bored today with my writing. Take Os Novos Baianos for a hearing and have a nice weekend. Tracks include:

ReplyDeletei´m a huge fan of this incredible blog which has become sort of an online tutorial in advanced "brazilology" for me. i want to take this opportunity not only to thank you for your efforts, but also to direct your activities to a field not thoroughly covered yet: the wonderful style of afoxé. are there any records out there, that can teach us something about the developement of the style, from sacred candomble music to it´s todays commercial guises? any hints would be much appreciated! keep up the good work! sincerely, geri schuller, vienna.
ReplyDeleteNorth American here and a big fan of this band. You definately can't get this one on CD in the states.
ReplyDeleteMuito obrigado Zeca!
Amigão, acho que no baixo era o DADI ao invés de DIDI. Abrç
ReplyDeleterealmente, esse daí é o único dos albums dos novos baianos que nunca foi lançado em cd!!!
ReplyDeletei am a huge fan of your blog and a fan of novos baianos (though not this album so much). I have been trying to find the first 2 records by Moraes Moreira who, i believe, was in Novos Baianos in their earlier incarnation. It would be great if you were able to find these!
ReplyDeleteParabéns pelo blog.
ReplyDeleteÉ um site muito importante na divulgação da cultura do nosso Brasil!
Muito obrigado!

Ah... Tem algum álbum do Elomar?
J Bruni,
ReplyDeleteMuito obrigado!
Elomar? Acredito que sim. Existe um disco duplo lançado pela Marcus Pereira em que o Elomar é o artista principal junto com o Paulo Moura, Heraldo do Monte e o Arthur Moreira Lima. É uma boa dica, obrigado.
Abraços, zeca
Muito legal o blog, parabéns!
ReplyDeleteValeu pelo disco, sensacional. Um absurdo nunca ter saído em CD. O faixa 4 (FLAC) está com defeito, será que dá pra você postar novamente?
Ao cara que disse ser o Dadi no baixo, se enganou. É o Didi (Gomes) mesmo...
Abraço!
Pois é a faixa 4 o FLAC tá ruim, da pra fazer um re encode do wav?
ReplyDeleteO album é sensacional ;)
Great stuff here. Not quite as brilliant as the "Acabou Chorare" album (which is one of my alltime favorite records from Brazil) but still very good.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for your great work!
All the best from Germany!
Een heel goed album; vooral nr. 9
ReplyDeletehet door Baby Concuelo gezongen BRASILEIRINHO.

En ik ga dit draaien bij de Lokale
