No Mundo do Samba (1955)

Hello, good evening! I said yesterday that I would be breaking today the series of posts from the 1970's decade with something very old. I'm paying my bill with the oldest album I could find here, from 1955. I love the records made by Musidisc in the 1950's. The artwork is ahead of that time and was probably made by a single person since the style is unique and very easy to identify.

Who is this artist? This is something we can ask to Jorge Mello, just visiting his new website, featuring his writing and Brazilian music vintage pictures never seen before. You can reach the new Jorge Mello's website at http://jorgecarvalhodemello.blogspot.com. Let's see.

This is No Mundo do Samba | Volume 1 (1955), for Musidisc, a compilation of Samba tunes performed by artists from Musidisc cast, featuring Leo Peracchi, Trio Surdina, Britinho, Djalma Ferreira, Roberto Luna and an artist that I never heard before, Rud Wharton, which is probably a well-known musician recording by Musidisc under a nickname. Tracks include:

01 - Gafieira (Djalma Ferreira) Djalma Ferreira
02 - Você É Tormento (Nilo Sergio / Garoto) Leo Peracchi e Orquestra
03 - Vingança (Lupicínio Rodrigues) Trio Surdina
04 - Dora (Dorival Caymmi) Rud Wharton
05 - No Tabuleiro da Baiana (Ary Barroso) Léo Peracchi e Orquestra
06 - Lilian Britinho
07 - Está Desfeito (Manezinho Araújo / David Raw / Aldacir Louro) Roberto Luna
08 - Dia de Sol (João Leal Brito ''Britinho'') - Casinha da Colina (Adpt. João Leal Brito ''Britinho'') Nova Ilusão (José Menezes / Luis Bittencourt) Britinho
