Paulinho Nogueira - Sambas e Marchas da Nova Geracao (1967)

Hello, good evening! I am very proud to be in charge of the technology side of Musicos do Brasil: Uma Enciclopedia Instrumental, the first Brazilian music Encyclopedia devoted to instrumental music. The website was recently updated with new features and left the Beta stage. When I have an album to share with the community, the Encyclopedia is very useful, being a solid reference source. Follow this link to reach Paulinho Nogueira's entry and read about this great master of Brazilian guitar.

The Encyclopedia says that Paulinho Nogueira was more active as a teacher than as a studio musician. I also learned that Paulinho Nogueira was a designer, an essential skill to forge his invention, the craviola, an instrument that was adopted by Luiz Bonfa on his anthological Jacaranda album. Anyway, it is better leave the discovery pleasure for you; in the meantime, Loronix delivers another great Paulinho Nogueira record never released in CD. Let's see.

This is Paulinho Nogueira - Sambas e Marchas da Nova Geracao (1967), for RGE, with the participation of Luiz Loy Quinteto and Os 3 Moraes. Sorry, for talking about different things at this post, but I just received from our friend Warren a YouTube video that really worth to be shared with you. It is about a guy that made a not authorized commercial movie about a store using a mobile phone camera, here. You will understand why it is so great when you take a look. Anyway, Paulinho Nogueira has the accompaniment of not credit musicians, singing on a few tracks. Track 01 - Roda (Gilberto Gil / Joao Augusto) a perfect example of one of Paulinho Nogueira's strengths, which is the way he creates a completely different version of well-known compositions of other musicians. Tracks include:

01 - Roda (Gilberto Gil / João Augusto)
02 - Menina da Agulha (Sidney Miller)
03 - O Que a Gente Quer (Paulinho Nogueira)
04 - João e Maria (Hilton Accioli / Geraldo Vandré)
05 - Sem Mais Adeus (Francis Hime / Vinicius de Moraes)
06 - Quem Te Viu Quem Te Vê (Chico Buarque)
07 - Para Contribuir à Confusão Geral (Paulinho Nogueira)
08 - Canção de Não Cantar (Sergio Bittencourt)
09 - Noite dos Mascarados (Chico Buarque)
10 - Procissão (Gilberto Gil)
11 - Benza Deus (Paulinho Nogueira)
12 - Máscara Negra (Zé Keti / Pereira Matos)
