Jorge Ben & Trio Mocoto - On Stage | In Japan with Trio Mocoto (1972)

What about a 320Kbps audio of a live concert performed by Jorge Ben and Trio Mocoto in Japan, 1972? Pretty interesting. This is what zecalouro received from MOFO, the same who asked and worked together with Marcelo Munhoz on the last Gerson King Combo release.

This concert was performed when Jorge Ben and Trio Mocoto toured in Europe and this is the live recording of the Japanese stage. I'm not sure if this is a official release or a bootleg, no artwork cover is available. This wonderful cover was also a work of MOFO, which is very good and will be opening this release until the original one arrives. Tracks include:

01 - Mas que Nada
02 - Charles Jr.
03 - Que Pena
04 - Take it Easy my Brother Charles
05 - Domenica Domingava num Domingo Linda Toda de Branco
06 - Apresentacao
07 - Oba, La vem Ela
08 - Zazueira
09 - Chove Chuva
10 - Quem Foi que Roubou a Sopeira...
11 - Cade Tereza
12 - Pandeiro, Zabumba, Batucada
13 - Pulo Pulo
14 - Hino do Flamengo, Pais Tropical
15 - Banana Bananeiro
16 - Ta na Hora
17 - Domingas
18 - Cidade Maravilhosa - Hino do Flamengo

Erlon Chaves - Banda Veneno Internacional Nr. 3 (1973)

For reasons that zecalouro does not know, he woke up this morning with the Brazilian Maestro Erlon Chaves in his head. This is the second Loronix release of Erlon Chaves, the first you can browse the archives and look for a record called Sabadabada, which I recommend.

I have learned a long time ago: when something came to your head from the blue, you should follow and obey. That's what I'm doing right now, making available a LP from Erlon Chaves and his Banda Veneno, a chorus of 40 voices he assembled in 1971.

This is Erlon Chaves - Banda Veneno Internacional Nr. 3 (1973), with musical direction of Mazzola and arrangements by Erlon Chaves. Perhaps zecalouro is influenced with this wonderful cover artwork. Anyway, it is Saturday night in Brazil. Tracks include:

01 - Habanera (from the opera "Carmen") (Bizet) -- El Toreador (from the Opera "Carmen") (Bizet)
02 - Push Together (P. Els / F. de Prijck) -- The Cisco Kid (S. Allen / H. R. Brown / M. Dickerson / L. Jordan / C. W. Miller / L. Oskar / H. Scott)
03 - Long Train Runnin (T. Johnston) -- Soul Makossa (M. Dibango)
04 - My Love (Paul McCartney) -- Live And Let Die (Paul McCartney / Linda McCartney)
05 - Issmechú Hashamaim (Hebrew Tradition)
06 - Jingle Bells (Folklore) -- White Christmas (Irving Berlin)
07 - Killing Me Softly Wiht His Song (Norman Gimbel / C. Fox) -- Lost Horizon (Burt Bacharach / David)
08 - I Don't Live Without Your Love (N. Keys)
09 - Let Your Yeah Be Yeah (J. Cliff) -- He (Michaele / Lana / Paul Sebastian)
10 - O Show Já Terminou (Roberto Carlos / Erasmo Carlos) -- De Tanto Amor (Roberto Carlos / Erasmo Carlos) -- A Distância (Roberto Carlos / Erasmo Carlos)

Special Repost | Wilson Simonal & Som Tres - Mexico 70 (1970)

Remember a few weeks ago when zecalouro presented a fine and rare relase from Wilson Simonal that he could not wait longer waiting for the cover? It is time to make this special repost, as we now have the original cover available.

Pay attention please, this is more than any given original cover, it was sent to zecalouro by Max de Castro. Loronixers who live outside Brazil, just a tip, Max de Castro is Wilson Simonal son. Great Max!

It is wonderful to know that Max de Castro is an active Loronixer. Max is a Brazilian singer, arranger and producer acclaimed by renowned figures such like Nelson Motta, Ed Motta, Jorge Ben Jor and many others. Max started his career in 1992 joining the band Confraria, formed by the brothers Pedro Camargo Mariano and Joao Marcelo Mariano.

Max released his first CD in 1999, Samba Raro, receiving several enthusiastic reviews. Since this first CD Max has released several albums, the last one is a very recent piece, Max de Castro - Balanco das Horas (2006). zecalouro invites all Loronixes to get along with Max and his new CD Balanco das Horas, here. http://www.maxdecastro.com.br

Max, thanks a lot for sharing with all Loronixers this missing piece of that amazing Wilson Simonal LP.

If you miss the original post, do not look back, tracks and way to go is just below.

Doris Monteiro - Vento Soprando (1961)

There is a lot of work behind this post. My congratulations to Arara Azul, responsible for everything to make this release available by ripping the vinyl of his personal collection, prepare the cover scan and even searching software to remove unwanted clicks and clacks. Thanks Arara Azul.

Arara Azul gives a great and unique contribution to Loronix, the awaited Doris Monteiro - Vento Soprando (1961), a reissue of Confidencias de Doris Monteiro com Musicas de Fernando Cesar (1956) with four additional tracks that were collected from previous Doris Monteiro 78 rpms releases, Nem Sol, Nem Paz, Nem Você, Quando O Amor Chegar, Sempre Teu and Paraíso Perdido. If you have the earlier Confidencias... take this one also, the tracks of Confidencias... are from a new rip with a much better quality.

Walter Wanderley - Perpetual Motion Love (1981)

I want to say THANK YOU to each one using the Send Files to share their personal music collection with Loronix. It is wonderful that you are taking your time to select the best of your collection, rip vinyl and send to zecalouro. That's a truly sharing spirit of yours. Thanks once again.

This fine release came also from the Send Files icon. There is nothing better than the own sender words to describe Walter Wanderley - Perpetual Motion Love (1981), his second release for the USA GNP/Crescendo label, as follows:

(...) This is a vinyl rip of a quite rare record on which Walter extends his artistry to cover even synthesizers. Now, if someone would have the even rarer "The Return of The Original" record (...)

Thanks for it. We are now looking for The Return of the Original, meanwhile, let's check how Walter Wanderley manages the synthesizers. Tracks include:

01 - Perpetual Motion Love
02 - Just The Two Of Us
03 - Surfboard
04 - Sukiyaki
05 - Amazonas
06 - Monica
07 - Caravan

09 - Forget
10 - On My Mind
11 - The Moon Was Yellow
12 - Recife
13 - Julie Is Her Name

Personnel

Walter Wanderley

I forgot to say that I'm making my best to understand what we have on this cover, seems to be a stage, or an amusement park.

Triangulo - Triangulo (1985)

This is another collector's request, recorded live in Rio de Janeiro, Sala Cecilia Meirelles, three Brazilian Jazzists, Luiz Eca (piano), Robertinho Silva (drums) and Luiz Alves (bass) as Triangulo also known as Triangulo Trio. The year was July 1985, catching a late Luiz Eça at his best.

01 - Balão (Luis Alves / Kledir Ramil / Wagner Tiso)
02 - Amando (Dori Caymmi / Nelson Motta)
03 - Triângulo (Luis Eça / Luis Alves / Robertinho Silva)

Rosinha de Valenca, Sylvia Telles & Edu Lobo with Dom Salvador Trio - Folklore e Bossa Nova do Brazil (1966)

I can file and track down every request and recommendation made by Loronixers, but seems to be imposible so far to associate the requests with requesters, specially one so hard to track down such as this nice LP with the participation of several Brazilian starts recorded for the label MPS/Basf in 1966, Germany.

The whole story is so far unknow, but this studio record has together on the set Chico Batera, Dom Salvador, Edu Lobo, J.T. Meirelles, Jorge Arena, Rosinha de Valenca, Rubens Bassini and Sylvia Telles. Some websites reports a not credited participation of Baden Powell, which is something to be checked.
