It must have been 6 years ago, when I saw ‘Cidade de Deus’
in a local theatre. When ‘Preciso me encontrar’ by Cartola
came by, I was deeply impressed and had to find out what
it was immediately. Since the day I discovered Cartola,
I’ve been in love with his music. This album is só beautiful,
I don’t say this often, but it is almost perfect.
I am certainly not the first blogger to post it but it felt
almost like an obligation to rip it once more.

tracks;

1 O mundo é um moínho
2 Minha
3 Sala de recepçao
4 Nao posso viver sem ela
5 Preciso me encontrar
6 Peito vazio
7 Aconteceu
8 As rosas nao falam
9 Sei chorar
10 Ensaboa
11 Senhora Tentaçao
12 Cordas de aço

From 1962 this is quite a rare album. Co-produced by Ed Lincoln,
I’m under the impression that he is also playing on some of the
tracks. This LP is a true collector since many dj’s used it for
their sampling activity’s. The warm sound of Pedrinho’s voice
captures you straight away, my favourite #; ‘Salgueiro chorao’.

tracks;

1 Pourquoi ( Néga sem sandália )
2 Tem que balançar
3 Vivendo de ilusao
4 Baiana das 4 saias
5 Salgueiro chorao
6 Confissao
7 Falsa Baiana
8 Mulata assanhada
9 Eu nao tenho onde morar
10 Aconteceu
11 Conformaçao
12 Tristeza de nós dois

From 1972 this is a fantastic piece of samba. I am not the first
one to post ‘Batuque na Cozinha’ but this one can’t be posted
enough. Martinho gathered only the very best musicians for
this session, if you see the line-up you shall agree.
Check back-cover for details.
If you like samba, this is a must-have.

10 Jubiabá
11 Saudade e samba

When I found this album, about a year ago, I was very pleasantly surprised.
Just before it I discovered Jorginho via the great Justin from
J Thyme, listed in the sidebar. Very nice Samba from Rio de Janeiro.
Although posted before on the web, an album worth downing like no other.

Roberto Ribeiro comes in with this fine Samba album, from 1979
this is ‘Coisas da Vida’, an LP with a lot of character.
Very original melody-lines, don’t miss it.

Good afternoon, It has been a crazy week, lots of work and little time
to rip LP’s. Now I finally find some time, the weather is so bad, I
can’t photograph any albums, I use to do it outside with daylight.
It’s a shame because I had some really nice African stuff waiting,
aswell as some Colombian material.
For now I’ve got to post something else, when I was in Rio,
february 2007, I went out shopping for old records with our great
friend ‘Zecalouro’ from Loronix. He took me to this tiny recordshack
somewhere in a Copacabana shoppingcentre, when searching I found
this ‘Ed Lincoln’. I felt a little uncomfortable buying quite some LP’s
there, a friend takes you to see his special source, I almost felt
like I was stealing something. Later I ripped some of the LP’s I found
and sent them to Zeca, among others this one was posted at Loronix
already over a year ago. I think it is appropriate to post it
oncemore today. Hope you like it.

tracks;

1 Miss Balanço
2 Só danço samba
3 Vou rir de você

10 Balansamba # 1
11 Tristeza

Photos; middle – young Adoniran Barbosa, bottom – Demonios da Garoa
Barbosa and Vanzolini are both from Sao Paulo, both made very nice Samba,
that must be the reason of this release.
The A-Side contains 4 songs, written by Paulo Vanzolini, the B-side,
4 songs written by Adoniran Barbosa. All 8 worth this post.

tracks;

1 Chico Buarque de Hollanda – Praça Clovis
2 Carlos Paraná – Capoeira do Arnaldo
3 Cláudia Morena – Ronda
4 Adauto Santos – Volta por cima
5 Demonios da Garoa – Trem das onze

7 Demonios da Garoa – Saudosa Maloca
8 Adoniran Barbosa e os Titulares do Ritmo – Tocar na banda

We’re Back on the World Music Track !
One of the Biggest names, if we speak about Brazilian composers, is
without any doubt, ‘Noël Rosa’.
This little album, with only 8 tracks, is from the famous series
‘Nova História de la Música Popular Brasileira’.
It contains various interpretations of Noël Rosa’s work.
On track #6, we hear the master himself, together with Marília Batista.
Very nice is also Maria Bethania’s version of ‘Trés Apitos’.

tracks;

01 Beth Carvalho – Onde esta a honestidade
02 Mario Reis – Quando o samba acabou
03 Maria Bethania – Trés apitos
04 Aracy de Almeida – Ultimo desejo
05 Aracy de Almeida – Palpite infeliz
06 Noel Rosa e Marilia Batista – Você vai se quiser
07 Francisco Alves – Feitio de oraçao
08 Moreira da Silva – Conversa de botequim

To close off this productive day, a sweet piece of Samba.
I had a great day, ripping all this nice music, I hope you did
too, listening to it. ‘Paulinho da Viola’ delivers an album
like no other. A bit sentimental but very decent I ‘d say.
Que saudade que eu tenho que o meu amor esta no Rio agora.

tracks;

1 Sentimentos
2 Comprimido
3 Nao leve a mal
4 Nervos de aço
5 Roendo as unhas
6 Nao quero mais amar ninguém
7 Néga Luzia
8 Cidade submersa
9 Sonho de um Carnaval
10 Chóro negro

About one and a half year ago I first heard ‘Thelma’, I was deeply
impressed by the way she knows to pull back the pace.
It was at Loronix, the great ‘Zecalouro’ introduced her to the world.
When I visited him later he gave me these files.
I already loved the work of Nelson Cavaquinho, so when he told me
about this album, I was thrilled.
These files are ‘Zecalouro’s Rips’. I am taking the liberty to post
them once more, I could not resist when I heard it again.
This LP is SO BEAUTIFUL, Nelson Cavaquinho does about three songs
himself, fantastic stuff.
Thank you so much again Zeca !
