Carlos Lyra – Bossa Nova, Philips 1959

It’s purely coincidental this LP also shows a photo of the artist
with a burning cigarette. I was not looking for it, but when I
was ripping it I found out. I must say, it didn’t harm
Carlos Lyra’s voice aswell.

Some two years ago I first got aquainted with the phenomena
of ‘Music Blogs’. It was because a friend pointed me the great
Loronix, the best blog on the web when it concerns Brazilian
music. I got hooked to visiting the Great Zeca Louro’s Loronix
and did not start one day without going there. Zeca, I want to
dedicate this album to you, without you I would not even know
about Carlos Lyra’s existence. Thank you so much for showing me
all that wonderful music, Loronix is not just a music blog,
it is a ‘Bossa Nova Institution’ and my great example !
Check Loronix at our sidebar !

Carlos Lyra is one of the inventors of Bossa Nova, he was one
of the first to record a Bossa Nova album. Several of the songs
he wrote and co-wrote with for instance Vinicius de Moraes
became Bossa Nova standards later. A song like ‘Maria Ninguém’
was interpreted by practically every Brazilian musician.
Enjoy the Bossa Nova of Carlos Lyra.

    Hey moos,

    This is great! A whole Global Groove post dedicated to zeca!

    I remember everything about that day. It was a hot summer day, such like today. We spoke about several things such like old friends.

    Make sure you come to my place when you get back to Rio. I’m very different.

    Cheers, zeca

    Hi,
    I only just found this blog today and I am amazed at the fantastic music you have here. I love african and reggae and some of the samba stuff. Just thank you thank you very much for all your generous shares. It will take me a long time to go through all the back posts right to the middle of 2008. I will do my best to give something back when I’ve assimilated all the great stuff you have.
    Thanks again
