Hello, good evening! I’m back, and it is always very nice to be back to Loronix. Thanks for being here! I spoke about a given Musidisc release to stay on top of the excellent JIN contribution. However, a technical problem with the music and image transfer occurs and we will need to wait an additional day for it.

Meanwhile, I want to share an album that certainly would not be a strong candidate to Loronix under normal conditions. It was released by Equipe, another legendary Brazilian record company in the 60’s, featuring a group that I never heard about, which is Bossa 4, a blend of instrumental and vocal group, featuring guitar, bass, drums, percussion and a very nice organist.

Let’s see.

This is Bossa 4 – Repeteco Outra Vez (1968), for Equipe. Little I know about this album and this group, but I’m confident that additional information should come very soon from several and serious Equipe’s collectors around Loronix, especially Bossanov, our rarities advisor from Russia.

Tracks include:

01 – O Caderninho (Olmir Stocker “Alemão”)
02 – Te Amo (Roberto Corrêa / Sylvio Son)
03 – Eu Estou Feliz (Puppet On a String) (B. Martin / P. Coucter)
04 – Lonely (Sebastian)
05 – You Only Live Twice (Barry / Bricusse)
06 – Telegrama (Western Union) (M. Rabon / N. Ezeil)
07 – Eu Te Amo Mesmo Assim (Martinha)
08 – Tributo a Martin Luther King (Wilson Simonal / Ronaldo Bôscoli)
09 – Meu Grito (Roberto Carlos)
10 – Não Posso Controlar Meu Pensamento (Cláudio Fontana / Robert Livi)
11 – O Importante É a Rosa (Gilbert Bécaud / L. Amade)
12 – Prova de Fogo (Erasmo Carlos)
13 – Só Eu e Você (There’s a Kind Of Hush) (L. Reed / G. Stephens)
14 – Coisinha Estúpida (Something Stupid) (C. Carson / Parks / Vrs. Leno)

Bem legal, o álbum!
E a capa, é a “cara” da época…

Hi, Zeca!
All the best for all Loronixers!
Some time ago I think, that “Bossa 4″ was the extension of “Bossa Tres”, but according to Instituto Memoria Musical Brasileira, “Bossa 4″ members was:
- Carmindo (g, voc),

- Joy (dr, perc),
- Pedrinho (b),
- Borginhos (org,vib,p, acc), so it’s totally different cast, probably from Jovem Garda movement.
And off topic question for discussion: when we will celebrate the 50th birthday of bossa nova?
Sincerely, Bossanov

Quarteto em Cy – Querelas do Brasil (1978)

Hello, good evening! I think we will have today the same situation we had tomorrow on our last post, an unknown album recorded by a great artist and never released in CD. Maybe I’m wrong, but except from some occasional and small reissues, Quarteto em Cy – Querelas do Brasil, never had a chance to be released at the digital age.

This is a repost, Querelas do Brasil was made available first in November 2006 with no back cover, transferred at a low bitrate and had a track missing. Everything is now updated and I hope you have a very nice time with this great vocal group.
Let’s see.

This is Quarteto em Cy – Querelas do Brasil (1978), for Philips, which is probably the most “political flavored” album released by the girls, with several lyrics about Brazilian problems of that time. By the way, the album title is taken from one of those songs; Querelas do Brasil by Mauricio Tapajos and Aldir Blanc.

Such as many Brazilian albums released in the 70’s, Querelas do Brazil features a constellation of Brazilian musicians, including Sivuca, Antonio Adolfo, Luizao, Neco, Copinha, Raul de Barros and many others.

Tracks include:

Personnel

Paulinho Braga, Zequinha
(drums)

Luizao Maia, Jamil Joanes
(bass)

Luis Claudio, Miltinho
(acoustic guitar)

Neco
(cavaquinho)

Luis Claudio
(violao de 12 cordas)

Ze Roberto Bertrami
(organ, moog)

Wilson das Neves, Hermes, Chacal, Zequinha, Normando
(percussion)

Sivuca
(accordion)

Copinha, Franklin da Flauta, Celso, Jorginho
(flute)

Raul de Barros
(trombone)

Netinho
(clarinet)

Gilberto, Eliseu
(pandeiro)

Marcal, Eliseu, Bezerra
(tamborim)

Bezerra, Roberto Pinheiro
(ganza)

Doutor
(repique)

Reinaldo
(surdo)

Wilson das Neves
(caixa)

Geraldo Bongo
(agogo)

track 4 “love, love, love” is missing

O Quarteto em Cy é um marco na MPB de qualidade. Pena não ser divulgado e executado como deveria, para que as pessoas mais “mudernas” pudessem desfrutar de música que vai da empolgação à delicadeza, sem perder a classe e o prazer que esse antológico quarteto nos proporciona. Palavras de fã, é claro.
A propósito, teria como conseguir o link para o disco “And roses, and roses”, do Quarteto em Cy & Caymmi? É um dos pouquíssimos que me faltam, e não o consigo em lugar nenhum.
Obrigado.

Grande blog!
Mais post de muito bom gosto.

Seria possível postar “Baioque”, com as meninas do Quarteto em Cy?
Grato,

Loronix. I love early Quarteto em Cy very much but this is too syrupy for me. Thanks for the opportunity to hear it.

Waltel Branco – Músicas do Seculo XVI ao Seculo XX (1974)

Hello, good evening! It is really nice to be back to Loronix after 2 days of rest, which in fact were taken by lots of very hard and productive work.

Miltinho and Doris Monteiro were during this time and I believe it was a great choice. Anyway, the show must go on, and I would like to start with another flawless release sponsored by Jorge Mello, featuring an artist appreciated by our community as a whole.
Let’s see.

This is Waltel Branco – Musicas do Seculo XVI ao Seculo XX (1974), for Itamaraty. Actually, this album was first released in 1974 by another label, the tiny Magic Music, and Jorge Mello presents a later Itamaraty reissue, whose date I could not track on my searches. The album is exactly what its title suggests; Waltel Branco delivers violao renditions of music written across the XVI and XX centuries, including his own compositions, such like track 09 – Preludio Sarabanda e Bourree (Waltel Branco), which is also my choice to Loronix Preview Center.

Tracks include:

01 – Canções do Seculo XVI (Tradicional)
02 – Ballet (Gluck)
03 – Romanza (Schumann)
04 – Valsa Nr 15 (Brahms)
05 – Ballet (Weiss)
06 – Preludio Nr 20 (Frederic Chopin)
07 – Estudos 1 e 6 (Sor)
08 – Sarabanda (Poulenc)
09 – Preludio Sarabanda e Bourree (Waltel Branco)
10 – Preludio Nr 2 (Villa-Lobos)
11 – Andante (Staak)
12 – Moda de Viola (Waltel Branco)

Zeca, você não sabe a quantidade de tempo que tenho sem escutar estes Estudios de Sor. Comparados com outros Estudios de outros compositores eles são muito simples, mas todo o que tem de sencillez também o tem de doçura. É muito bom que você tenha publicado este disco porque a música clássica e muito bela e é bom que a gente possa ter contato com ela ainda que seja a través de músicos populares que a gente conhece. Muito, muito agradecida. Abraços,

Nina

Nice record but the record skips on Side Two making it not listenable. Thanks anyway, it’s nice to have the few good sogs here, always love Waltel Branco.
