Francisco Petronio e Dilermando Reis - Uma Voz e Um Violao em Serenata Vol. 2 (1963)

Hello, good evening! If our mission is to tell the story of Brazilian popular music, it would fail if we skip this duo formed by a singer and an instrumentalist. The singer is Francisco Petronio, being introduced for the first time at Loronix, and by the way, an important singer. Francisco Petronio recorded over 50 LPs in a career that started late and lasted no more than two decades. Dilermando Reis does not requires an introduction, his violao is the only instrument heard at this album and this is the first time we have an album by Dilermando Reis accompanying a singer. They recorded together 7 LPs in this series of seresta performance, a genre we are getting along for the first time at Loronix. Let's see.

This is Francisco Petronio e Dilermando Reis - Uma Voz, e Um Violao em Serenata Vol. 2 (1963), for Continental, the second out of seven seresta albums release by the duo. Although the cover in the spirit of a serenata, I think a brief explanation is needed. Seresta or Serenata is music for a lover, in the evening time below the lover or the candidate window. I think it is something that belongs to the past, not the music, but the attitude of singing below someone else window. Anyway, the music speaks by itself. Tracks include:


01 - Sob o Céu de Brasília (Dilermando Reis / José Fortuna)
02 - Reflorir da Minha Vida (Saint-Clair Sena)
03 - A Pequenina Cruz do Teu Rosário (Roberto Xavier de Castro / Fernando Weyne)
04 - Flor do Mal (Santos Coelho)
05 - Última Inspiração (Peterpan)
06 - Serenata (Silvio Caldas / Orestes Barbosa)
07 - Dois Destinos (Dilermando Reis / José Fortuna)
08 - Pálida Morena (Freire Júnior)
09 - Revendo o Passado (Freire Júnior)
10 - Uma Valsa e Dois Amores (Dilermando Reis / José Fortuna)
11 - Não Sei (Francisco Alves / Orestes Barbosa)
