Severino Filho e Sua Orquestra - O Mundo em 7 Notas (1960)

Hello, good evening! I cannot remember that last time an old and good orchestra LP was released at Loronix. Perhaps in the beginning of this year. Anyway, the style really needs more attention and this album should pay all my debts with the legion of friends who that have been creating demand for some orchestra LPs. Let’s see.

This is Severino Filho e Sua Orquestra – Um Brasileiro Ouviu... Viu... Sentiu... O Mundo em 7 Notas (1960), for Continental, featuring orchestra and choir arrangements by Maestro Severino Filho (Os Cariocas) and a not credited participation of Os Cariocas at the choir. There are several elements that drag my attention here. The cover artwork featuring an airplane from the legendary Panair do Brasil, an airline that dominated Brazilian market throughout many years and was closed by Brazilian military government in 1965. I also like the concept of regions and world countries celebration. For each celebrated country our region, Maestro Severino Filho delivers arrangements of medleys with relevant music. Continental did not credit Maestro Severino Filho co-workers. Tracks include:
