Dilermando Reis - Gotas de Lagrimas (1963)

Hello, good evening! When I started this transfer tonight, I realized that I could not get away from the turntable hearing the opening track 01 - Gotas de Lagrimas, which is also the title track, a beautiful waltz, and perhaps a complex and challenging piece to any guitar player, absolutely unknown to me. Later, a few Google searches were enough to understand that Mozart Bicalho (Gotas de Lagrimas composer) is another Brazilian guitar master, compared to big names such like Joao Pernambuco and Canhoto. I will tell you a little bit more about this piece. Let's see.

This is Dilermando Reis - Gotas de Lagrimas (1963), for Continental, another worth checking Dilermando Reis LP, featuring his own compositions and renditions of well-known instrumental tunes. Gotas de Lagrimas was recorded for the first time by Mozart Bicalho in 1930, having its first transcription in the early 1960's by Dilermando Reis, who made a very important work of publishing in written music many tunes that are considered today a very important part of Brazilian guitar tradition. As a whole, Gotas de Lagrimas is a delicious album, tailored for musicians and people who just want to appreciate beautiful tunes played by a really gifted musician. Tracks include:

01 - Gotas de Lágrimas (Mozart Bicalho)
02 - Brejeiro (Ernesto Nazareth)
