It’s his third record here at the Global groove. Roberto Ribeiro’s
samba belong to the finest I know. It breaths a certain intelligence
I can’t explain. Subtle guitars, smooth rhythms and Roberto’s
great voice make this album one I would not want to miss.
If you are into this type of music you’ll certainly like it.

This morning I wanted to rip an album by Jackson do Pandeiro
and only when halfway I realised it was the wrong slice of vinyl
inside. What a shame, time spoiled but not to worry, I decided

peste is originally from 1966 but the cd release is from 2001.

Every time I listen to João Nogueira, I get carried away
by the beauty of his songs. His sambas are so subtle

It is from 1990, Bezerra da Silva was 63 years of age when he
made this album. His music belongs to my favourite samba.
Always funny and society critical in his lirycs, Bezerra never
disappoints. If you’re into samba this is must have material.
Don’t you just love the cover of this record, good stuff..

Eliana and Booker Pittman were famous for their jazz
renditions. This 1974 album by Eliana solo however is
an ode to samba and such. Songs of Martinho da Vila and
Noel Rosa but also Carlos Lira and Benito di Paula.
On RCA Victor, released in Venezuela but all
Brazillian. ..and how about her looks, very
beautyful, just like the music on this
fine slice of vinyl, enjoy listening..

It must have been in 2007 or so, the first time I heard
this album was when I downloaded it from the great
Zecalouro at Loronix. I was sold straight away and
went looking for her music. As you may find there
are a few other records here at the GG. Aracy de
Almeida was the favourite interpreter of Noël Rosa’s
work of which two songs, first and last. She had a
voice one recognizes from 1000’s. The samba on this
lp is quite jazzy but I love it, it rocks
and I’m sure you’ll feel the same..

01 – Triste cuíca
02 – Cansado de sambar
03 – É mentira, oi
04 – Sabotagem no morro
05 – Batucada surgiu
06 – Mangueira
07 – Tem pena de mim
08 – Ora, ora
09 – Eu não sou manivela
10 – Trés apitos

Some very laidback samba for your sunday afternoon. Originally
released in 1976, this is the 2002 cd re-issue. Batatinha’s songs
are smooth and easy going. Toalha da sudade one of his bigger
succes lp’s contains some jewels I’m sure you’ll love.
Give it a try and enjoy listening, coisa boa demais..

10 – Ironia
11 – Marca no pé
12 – Indecisão

Bezerra da Silva’s samba is one of my very favourites.
With his always society criticizing lyrics he knows to
put his finger where it hurts. There’s plenty of humor
in it and the sambas are sounding hot as can be. On
this album we find some of his best songs, the first
track is a straight hit. “Vou apertar mas não vou
acender agora, se segura malandro, pra fazer
a cabeça tem hora..” he says he’s going to
roll one but doesn’t light it up yet, all in
good time..haha, wonderful brazilian
stuff, hope you like it like I do..

tracks;

01 – Maladragem dá um tempo
02 – Defunto grampeado
03 – Quem usa antena é televisão
04 – Maloca o fragante
05 – Vovô cantou pra subir
06 – A rasteira do presidente
07 – Meu bom juiz
08 – Língua de tamanduá
09 – Na boca do mato
10 – Sua cabeça não passa na porta
11 – Os direitos do otário
12 – Compositores de verdade

Carnaval 2015 is at our doorstep, it is early this year, half
february already. One of the famous singers from the old
days is Nelson Cavaquinho. This lp was recorded in 1973
and contains songs about carnaval, like ‘Vou Partir’.
Nelson’s strong guitar strokes belong to my very
favourites. Listen to a great piece
of Brazillian blues..

02 – Folhas secas
03 – Caminhando
04 – Minha festa
05 – Mulher sem alma
06 – Vou partir

09 – É tão triste cair
10 – Pode sorrir
11 – Rugas
12 – O bem e o mal
13 – Visita triste

Maybe it is bacause of Forró em Vinyl, that site has so much forró
to offer that I neglected the genre. Only three albums over the past
seven years, about time to post some. For those who don’t know,
forró is from Brazils north eastern regions, always accompanied
by accordeons, ( or almost always ) and very happy. Today’s
album is a collector that contains songs by various popular
artists from the era, Jackson do Pandeiro is the most
famous but there’s Zé Calixto and others that bring
all short and catchy songs. I like’m a lot..
Get & spread ..

tracks;

1 Jackson do Pandeiro & Almira – Na base da chinela
2 Jararaca & Ratinho – Viva são joão
3 Gabriel e seu Violino – Saltitando com a rabeca
4 Moura júnior – Avuale fulorão
5 Zé Calixto e sua Sanfona de Oito Baixos – Forró do carroussel
6 Zé Fernandes – Rancheira do porom pom pom
7 Jackson do Pandeiro & Almira – Vem amor
8 Zé Calixto e sua Sanfona de Oito Baixos – Milho verde na fogueira
9 Jackson do Pandeiro & Almira – Muié muderna
10 João Mello – Segure o fole calixto
11 Gabriel e seu Violino – Toca fogo na fogueira
12 Moura Júnior – Amor naquela base
13 Zé Fernandes – Oito baixo renitente
14 Jararaca e Ratinho – Quadrilha do arraiá

In the following video we see Zé Calixto and others explaining
the difference between a normal accordeon and the ‘sanfona de oito baixos’,
( sanfona with eight basses ) sorry, no subtitles..

and one about the Brazillian sanfona..
