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.

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.
