Edu Lobo - Limite das Aguas (1976)

Hello, good evening! Brazil has a lot of music and albums to discover and sometimes you get surprised with a new discovery. I need to admit that I never had the chance to listen carefully a single album released by Edu Lobo in the 70's, in spite of having some knowledge about his work in the 1960's with Tamba Trio and Nara Leao. I was missing great music, this album has an unique atmosphere and is hard to believe it has gone out of print. Let's see.

Toquinho & Vinicius de Moraes - Toquinho / Vinicius & Amigos (1974)

Hello, good evening! My pick for this Saturday was decided on a different manner. I'm in a rush here, and I did not took this album for a hearing the way I use to do. But you should agree it is not necessary. This album never had a CD reissue and it unknown to many friends. The little I heard was enough to understand this record is such like a friend's meeting, very relaxed session. The duo brings to studio renowned friends, such like Maria Bethania, Maria Creuza, Sergio Endrigo and Cyro Monteiro, which is his last record session participation before his passing in the same year. Let's see.

This is Toquinho & Vinicius de Moraes - Toquinho / Vinicius & Amigos (1974), for RGE, featuring Vinicius de Moraes compositions performed with special guests. It is easy to identify each performer at this cover artwork, except Chico Buarque, the one in the right, besides Sergio Endrigo. Find the list of performers below and have a nice Sunday. Christmas is very close and if you do not reach Loronix until there, take my Happy Christmas message with you. Tracks include:

Elis Regina - Falso Brilhante (1976)

Hello, good evening! Thanks for the amazing feedback given to yesterday's launching of Musicos do Brasil website, a project that I'm very proud to take part working with a great team. Many thanks to everybody who had the chance to collaborate with us until we made this initial launching, especially the musicians by providing their information, photos and audios to our database. We have there a huge content, more than 500 musicians' pictures and more than 15 hours of music for listening. Everything provided by the musicians. And we are still counting since there are many new musicians to be activated and several existing musicians are now providing additional material.

Anyway, the music cannot stop at Loronix and this is what I call a flawless release, Elis Regina is one of the most demanded artists by our community, this album is considered one of her best releases in the 70's and it is also surprisingly out of print. Let's see.

This is Elis Regina - Falso Brilhante (1976), for Philips. I always thought this album was a live recording of the famous Elis Regina's Falso Brilhante show, but is a studio session based on the repertoire of that successful show, continuously on stage for more than a year from December 1975 until February 1977. Falso Brilhante is also about one of my favorites Brazilian composers, Belchior, author Como os Nossos Pais, one of greatest Elis Regina interpretations, which is Falso Brilhante opening track and also my selection to Loronix Preview Center. Tracks include:

Personnel

Cesar Camargo Mariano
(piano, keyboards, violao, arrangements)
Crispim Del Cristia, Natan Marques
(guitar, violao)
Nene
(drums)
Wilson Gomes
(bass)

Track List

01 - Como Nossos Pais (Belchior)
02 - Velha Roupa Colorida (Belchior)

Anúncio | Enciclopédia Permanente da Música Instrumental Brasileira

 

Amigos, depois de mais de um ano de intenso e prazeroso trabalho, com muita alegria anunciamos à comunidade do Loronix que o site da Enciclopédia Eletrônica e Permanente de Música Instrumental Brasileira já está disponível, aqui.

Recebemos mais de 400 questionários de músicos em atividade e a partir dos quais elaboramos cada verbete. Pesquisamos e escrevemos, também, cerca de 150 verbetes sobre músicos que já morreram, como Pixinguinha, Jacob do Bandolim e muitos outros, inclusive Márcio Montarroyos e J. T. Meirelles, falecidos recentemente.

A Enciclopédia apresenta, além dos verbetes, dissertações universitárias que nos foram gentilmente cedidas por seus autores, e ensaios escritos especialmente para o projeto sobre os mais diversos aspectos da música instrumental brasileira.

Elaboramos, ainda, um painel de época retratando como era o mundo e a vida das pessoas em cada década do século XX, com a finalidade de permitir que se entenda um pouco melhor o ambiente histórico, social, tecnológico e político em que cada um dos músicos nasceu e produziu a sua obra.

Sobre o Site:

Tom & Dito - Reverterio (1976)

Hello, good evening! This is the second appearance of Tom & Dito at Loronix. The first was a long time ago, in the very first beginning, one of the first albums made available here. Unfortunately, the first album is no longer available, and it was a very successful release. I had the idea to show this album when I received today a message from Thomas Fawcett, which is the owner and maintainer of a new website devoted to the music from Brazil from the 1970's, Brazil Soul Power.

I would like to take Thomas' introductory words and his enthusiastic definition of Brazil Soul Power. And I would like also to say that another Brazilian music resource is about to go live in less than 72 hours with full coverage at Loronix. Stay tuned and let's read Thomas value proposition. Let's see.

"Ola! I've been a fan of Loronix for a long time and wanted to share with you a web site I've been working on for awhile. It's called Brazil Soul Power and tells the story of soul music in 1970's Brazil. It features interviews with Gerson King Combo, Hyldon, Luis Vagner, Eduardo Araujo, Carlos Dafe, Uniao Black e mais. Check it out when you get a chance!"

This is Tom & Dito - Reverterio (1976), for Continental. Little I know about this album and this Duo, but they are backed by the best of breed Brazilian musicians of that time, including a surprising participation of the legendary Moacyr Silva at personnel listing and other really important musicians, such like: Mauricio Einhorn, Raymundo Bittencourt, Gilson Peranzzetta, Aurino, Helcio Milito, Marcio Montarroyos and many others. I wish a very nice weekend to everybody. Tracks include:

Antonio Carlos Jobim - Gabriela | OST (1983)

Hello, good evening! I think I'm getting older very fast this year and losing my good memory for albums. I was looking for something by Maestro Antonio Carlos Jobim and I did not remember this soundtrack as Jobim's regular career album. By the way, this post was only possible with the help of the mysterious friend and his huge and amazing collection made available to Loronix community. This is Loronix tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim years passing in 08 December 1994. Antonio Carlos Jobim will be missed forever. Let's see.

This is Antonio Carlos Jobim - Gabriela | Trilha Sonora Original (1983), for RCA, featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim and Gal Costa, based on Jorge Amado Gabriela, Cravo & Canela novel. Gabriela should not be taken as TV Globo soup opera soundtrack released in 1975 by Som Livre, Gabriela belongs to the 1983 film, directed by Bruno Barreto and starred by Sonia Braga -- the "original" 1975 Gabriela -- and Marcelo Mastroianni. I did not see this film, but the soundtrack is really pleasant, featuring arrangements by Oscar Castro Neves with Tom and Gal Costa singing and performing together in a few tracks. Loronix Preview Center peak is the opening track, an instrumental tune by Jobim which alone worth the whole record. Tracks include:

Geraldo Vandre - Canto Geral (1968)

Hello, good evening! I need energy this week, we are about to release a new website, which is the first Brazilian instrumental music encyclopedia, something already spoken here at Loronix. This is the final week; the website is schedule to go live next Monday and these days should be really busy down here.

Meanwhile, it is important to keep Loronix updated, but the announcement of our last 700 hundred albums donator needs to be postponed once again. It is an extremely important contribution that needs to be formally addressed with all the necessary bells and whistles.

There is also a very important event today that I Loronix will be missing, which is Antonio Carlos Jobim 14th years passing in 8th December 1994. This is a really important date and I will make a special post in the forthcoming days. Anyway, let's make this album, the second contribution by our so far mysterious friend. Let's rock!

This is Geraldo Vandre - Canto Geral (1968), for Odeon, featuring the participation of Trio Maraya delivering vocals, instrumental arrangements, vocal arrangements and their typical instruments playing, such like queixada-de-burro, ca-chi-chi and viola. According with Luiz Americo and his 100 Discos Fundamentais compilation, this is the most politically engaged Geraldo Vandre album, released in a time where Brazil was about to enter on the hardest period of the military dictatorship with the release of AI-5. You can check Luiz Americo review at this link. By the way, Canto Geral is listed at Luiz Americo website as one of the 100 essential Brazilian popular music albums. Tracks include:

01 - Terra Plana (Geraldo Vandré)
02 - Companheira (Geraldo Vandré)
03 - Maria Rita (Geraldo Vandré)
04 - De Serra de Terra e de Mar (Geraldo Vandré / Theo de Barros / Hermeto Pascoal)

09 - Arueira (Geraldo Vandré)
10 - Guerrilheira (Geraldo Vandré / Hilton Accioli)

Sivuca - Live at the Village Gate (1973)

Hello, good evening! Wish I have much more energy tonight, because this is a special night and this is a really special post. This is the first of a probably endless series of album that will come to Loronix through a donation. Yes, I said a donation, and not a standard donation, but a complete collection, perhaps more than 700 records, spanning decades of Brazilian popular music.

The one responsible for this fantastic donation is a great friend. We have been together on on-line adventures since the 1980's decade, a time that Internet was such like a dream and we had a lot of fun with BBSs. By the way, this friend reminds me CentroIn, which was really the best BBS in Rio de Janeiro (this is an easy hint to discover who is zeca!).

I said I'm tired and I'm really exhausted today. It is better and prudent to announce who made this donation later. By now, let's stay with this suspense atmosphere and this great album never released before at Loronix and hard to believe that has gone out of print. Let's see.

This is Sivuca - Live at the Village Gate (1973), for Vanguard, made available here with the Brazilian Copacabana issue. I would like to wait a couple of days to release this album in December 15th as a tribute to Sivuca's passing in 2006, but I could not resist. This album was a missing piece in my collection and, of course, a missing piece at Loronix. Live at Village Gate was recorded at the homonymous Village Gate, a nightclub in New York City, and features Sivuca on his peak, backed by American musicians. I would like to send my best vibrations and wish a nice weekend to everybody. Tracks include:

Personnel

Sivuca
(vocals, violao, accordion, piano, percussion)

Cindy Kimball
(voice, percussion)
Morris Goldberg
(woodwinds)
Mervin Bronson
(bass)
Angel Allende
(percussion)
Sadiq Shabazz
(drums)

Track List

01 - Adeus Maria Fulô (Sivuca / Humberto Teixeira)
02 - Berimbau (Baden Powell / Vinicius de Moraes)
03 - It Might Have Been (Sivuca / D. Speropoles)
04 - Rancho Fundo (Ary Barroso)
05 - Ain't no Sunshine (B. Withers)
06 - Marina (Dorival Caymmi)
