Varios Artistas - Um Piano ao Cair da Tarde Vol. 1 | Internacional (1978)

Hello, good evening! Let's start making the day of instrumental music lovers and fans of the legendary Eldorado, which is a Brazilian record label dedicated to instrumental music. Eldorado was active from 1981 until the early 90's, releasing several influential albums, some of them already available at Loronix, such as the last album recorded by K-Ximbinho, among many others. In addition from artist solo releases, Eldorado also released a very famous series called "Um Piano ao Cair da Tarde" with national and international music, always performed by Brazilian artists. Let's see.

This is Um Piano ao Cair da Tarde Vol. 1 | Internacional (1978), for Eldorado, featuring piano solo renditions of international standards by Dick Farney, Jose Alves, Felix Wagner and Amilton Godoy, Zimbo Trio pianist. Amilton Godoy has the very good company of Rubens Barsotti (drums) and Luiz Chaves (bass), which is in fact Zimbo Trio, performing international standards, get the chance to hear three Zimbo Trio tracks never released on any other record. Tracks include:

Sivuca - Vou Vida Afora (1982)

This night was very special and deserves to be closed with a special artist. Sivuca is a very special artist; he is part of a group of a few selected artists that everybody likes. Every Sivuca album I spin makes me feel better, saving those days that you are not in the mood of anything. Today is not the case, but as I said, it is a special day.

This is Sivuca - Vou Vida Afora (1982), for Copacabana, featuring the very special guest Quarteto em Cy on tracks 04 - Imaginacao and 07 - Arapua Fazendo Mel and Lucinha Lins on track 09 - Bailado, featuring arrangements by Ivan Lins. Such like the last Copacabana Sivuca album from 1979, Sivuca sings, which is something unique from my perspective. Personnel listing was not delivered by Copacabana, but Sivuca plays accordion in all tracks, including the instrumental tracks 05, 06 and 10. Tracks include:

01 - Forró da Bicharada (Sivuca / Paulinho Tapajós)

Waldyr Azevedo - Um Cavaquinho Acontece (1960)

Hello, good evening! It is very hard to start over after a nice release such as we had yesterday with the recording of A Noite do Amor, do Sorriso e da Flor. I never thought this concert would be available to our community and everything happened by coincidence. Anyway, the show must go on, and it is important to keep the pace. That's why I'm showing a very influential artist that never had a release at Loronix. Let's see.

This is Waldyr Azevedo - Um Cavaquinho Acontece (1960), for Continental, featuring Waldyr Azevedo, one of the most important musicians on the Choro genre. Several essential Choro compositions, such as Brasileirinho, Delicado, Pedacinhos do Ceu, among others, were written by Waldyr Azevedo, a virtuoso on cavaquinho that had a very active recording career that spanned decades, starting in 1940 and ending in 1980, the year of his passing. Um Cavaquinho Acontece feature well-known Waldyr Azevedo compositions and it is a nice way to start promoting the works of this great Brazilian musician. Tracks include:

01 - Delicado (Waldir Azevedo)
02 - Contando Tempo (Waldir Azevedo)
03 - Pedacinhos do Céu (Waldir Azevedo)
04 - Carioquinha (Waldir Azevedo)
05 - Sonhos de Criança (Waldir Azevedo)
06 - Na Baixa do Sapateiro (Ary Barroso)
07 - Brasileirinho (Waldir Azevedo)
08 - Catete (Waldir Azevedo)
09 - Meu Tempo de Criança (Waldir Azevedo)
10 - Vê Se Gostas (Waldir Azevedo)
11 - Queira-me Bem (Waldir Azevedo)
12 - Amigos do Samba (Waldir Azevedo)

A Noite do Amor, do Sorriso e da Flor - 1o Festival de Bossa Nova | Faculdade de Arquitetura (1960)

This cover and post title is self-explanatory and I think nobody will ready these lines. It is not necessary to clean your glasses or schedule a visit to your doctor, what you see is exactly what you get, and I will be very straightforward to do not waste your time.

This is A Noite do Amor, do Sorriso e da Flor - Faculdade de Arquitetura (1960), the anthological event produced by Ronaldo Boscoli, considered the first Bossa Nova Festival, featuring renowned Brazilian artists on a very early stage of their career supported by Roberto Menescal (guitar), Luiz Carlos Vinhas (piano), Luiz Paulo (bass), Helcio Milito (drums) and Bebeto (sax).

The track list has some failures and I hope our community helps to realize the exact figures in terms of songs names and performers. The sound quality is not perfect, but if you take in from an historical perspective, every second of this event worth the hearing. I would like to thanks all the friends involved on this post, a very important accomplishment to our community. Tracks include:

Miucha - Miucha (1989)

I would like to understand why albums like this one are released, gone out of print and being kept unknown for many people, even those who collect Brazilian music. This is another great contribution by AdHoc, a gorgeous LP recorded by Miucha for Continental in 1989 that never had a CD reissue. I admit that I never heard about this one, and probably you did not also. AdHoc transition from classical to popular was great.

This is Miucha - Miucha (1989), for Continental, featuring the very special guests Pablo Milanes at track 01 - Buenos Dias America and Miucha's daughter Bebel Gilberto at my favorite so far, track 06 - Saudosismo (Caetano Veloso). AdHoc highlights the overall music quality, the repertoire selection, arrangements and Miucha singing, which is really awesome. There are also four very early compositions by the Brazilian guitarist Guinga in partnership with Paulo Cesar Pinheiro. AdHoc delivers nice covers scans, including personnel listing with musicians identified by track, which I will list here as a whole. Thanks Adhoc, you really Rocks! Tracks include:

Anjos do Inferno | 78rpm - RCA Victor 80-0597 (1949)

I'm happy to announce that TNO, our solid 78rpm contributor is now back to business, delivering several 78rpm records in a single contribution. TNO kept the same quality standard of his first contributions, the scans are nice and the quality of the transfer is unbelievable.

Let's start this new set of contributions with Anjos do Inferno, which is a vocal and instrumental group that made a great success in the 40's with several recording releases. Anjos do Inferno had different formation along decades, being responsible for revealing legends like Miltinho and Lucio Alves.

This is Anjos do Inferno | 78rpm - RCA Victor 80-0597 (1949), featuring two Sambas, Nega (Waldemar Gomes / Affonso Teixeira) and 13 de Ouro (Marino Pinto / Herivelto Martins). Additionally, I'm making available a excerpt from a 1949 Mexican movie, Perdida, with Anjos do Inferno and Ninon Sevilla performing Nega, the same song available at side A of this nice TNO contribution. Tracks include:

01 - Nega (Waldemar Gomes / Affonso Teixeira)
02 - 13 de Ouro (Marino Pinto / Herivelto Martins)

Renato Tito e Seu Conjunto Teleco Teco - Chorinhos em HI-FI (1959)

Hello, good evening! Let's start this Sunday using that idea of showing important musicians never released before at Loronix, such as we did with that Saraiva debut LP a couple of days ago. We are showing this time a clarinet player, Renato Tito, active on recordings from the late 50's until the 70's and perhaps a great finding to our community. Let's see.

This is Renato Tito e Seu Conjunto Teleco-Teco - Chorinhos em HI-FI (1959), for Discobras. This is Renato Tito debut LP and although released by the "Para Dancar" label Discobras, Chorinhos em HI-FI is a beautiful and very old instrumental album in the Choro style. Renato Tito clarinet playing is beautiful and the repertoire brings a nice selection of Choros, including one of Caetano Rodrigues favorite tunes, Espinha de Bacalhau, by Maestro Severino Araujo. Renato Tito has the accompaniment of "Conjunto Teleco-Teco" with not credited musicians. Tracks include:

01 - Petite Fleur (Sidney Bechet)
02 - Vivaldo no Choro (Severino Araújo)
03 - Eu e Você (Hamilton)
04 - Compromisso Com a Saudade (Billy Blanco)
05 - Idealizando (Renato Tito / Ka Zinho)
06 - Pudim de Maria (Alventino Cavalcanti / Elias Soares)
07 - Espinha de Bacalhau (Severino Araújo)
08 - Sai do Bar (Ricardo Galeno / Paulo Tito)
09 - Pezadinho (Francisco Tito)
10 - Um Chorinho Diferente (Gaúcho)
11 - Louco Por Música (Portinho)
12 - Perigoso (Orlando Silveira / Esmeraldino Sales)

Moreira da Silva - Malandro Diferente (1961)

I have been looking for this album for quite a long time. Not this one, but any of the few albums recorded by Moreira da Silva for Odeon at the late 50's to early 60's. Perhaps you will feel not comfortable to see two "Da Silva" and two "Malandros" in a row, but they are very different artists. Moreira da Silva - Malandro Diferente was recorded in 1961, with the same concept, lyrics with chronicle of Rio de Janeiro city. However, Moreira da Silva had a very different Rio de Janeiro, with no violence and drugs available and he performs Samba on a very unique way. Let's see.

This is Moreira da Silva - Malandro Diferente (1961), for Odeon, featuring Moreira da Silva, the undisputed king of malandragem carioca also known as Kid Morengueira. Moreira da Silva career spans decades, starting in 1932 with the recording of his first 78rpm, being active until 2000, the year of his passing with 98 years. I hope you have the same pleasure I had today hearing this very old album by Moreira da Silva. Tracks include:

01 - Camelô na Cidade (Tancredo Silva / Sebastião Valença / Wagner R. de Paula)
02 - O Pugilista de Fama (Claudionor Martins / Moreira da Silva)
03 - Vou Te Contar (Kiabo)
04 - Desculpa de Soldado (Jehovah Barbosa / Moreira da Silva)
05 - Carango Assaltado (Moreira da Silva / Kiabo)
06 - Reminiscências (Heitor Catumbi / Moreira da Silva)
07 - A Dama do Cemitério (Kiabo / Moreira da Silva)
08 - No Seca-sovaco (Moreira da Silva / Ribeiro Cunha / Jorge Gonçalves)
09 - Fui a Paris (Moreira da Silva / Ribeiro Cunha)
10 - Cabrito Com Bronca (Lourival Ramos / Moreira da Silva)
11 - Se Você For à Bahia (Alberto Costa / Oldemar Magalhães)
12 - Aquele Adeus (Mário Teresópolis)

Bezerra da Silva - Alo Malandragem, Maloca o Flagrante! (1986)

This is our second Loronix Samba Saturday release, and it is very different from the previous one featuring Jair Rodrigues. Bezerra da Silva represents the Carioca Malandragem (malice) of the favelas. His lyrics chronicle the violence, drugs and the daily life of people who lives on the hills. Bezerra da Silva is acknowledge as the spoken person of the favelas. Let's see.

This is Bezerra da Silva - Alo Malandragem, Maloca o Flagrante! (1986), for RCA Vik. I always thought this album was a compilation with the "Best of" Bezerra da Silva, since most of the songs are very popular. I was wrong, this is a regular Bezerra da Silva career album, featuring well-known songs such like Malandragem da um Tempo, Quem usa Antena e Televisao, Maloca o Flagrante, among others. Personnel is credited, including renowned musicians like Dino 7 Cordas, Ze Menezes and Marcal, available with the music this time. Tracks include:

01 - Malandragem Dá Um Tempo (Popular P / Moacir Bombeiro / Adelzonilton)
02 - Defunto Grampeado (Evandro do Galo / Pedro Butina)
03 - Quem Usa Antena É Televisão (Pinga / Celsinho da Barra Funda)
04 - Maloca o Flagrante (Tonho / Cláudio Inspiração / Laureano)
05 - Vovô Cantou Pra Subir (Roxinho / Alicate de Niterói)
06 - A Rasteira do Presidente (Bicalho / Silvio Modesto)
07 - Meu Bom Juiz (Beto Sem Braço / Serginho Meriti)
08 - Língua de Tamanduá (Valmir / Tião Miranda)
09 - Na Boca do Mato (Luis Grande)
10 - Sua Cabeça Não Passa na Porta (Barbeirinho do Jacarezinho)
11 - Os Direitos do Otário (Miltinho / Jorge Garcia)
