0014 – Bimba – Caetano Veloso, Seu Jorge, Garoto, Lenine, Hamilton de Holanda, Marco Pereira, Badi Assad, Michel Legrand and Luiz Eça

Every year, Brasília turns itself also into the capital of Brazilian Music, during its International Summer Course. The meeting gathers more than sixty thousand people, among public audience, students and renowned teachers. During its 20th year, the acoustic guitar player Marco Pereira and the mandolin player Hamilton de Holanda met each other. They had a little jam session in the backstage, and from that wonderful experience they decided to record the album Luz das Cordas (Light From The Strings).

Named after Lewis Carrol’s literature, Wonderland is the album recorded by the singer and acoustic guitar player Badi Assad, which brings many questions about the fragile human soul and its illusions. It includes a blues duet with Seu Jorge, our most famous black singer, in a rearrangement from the song “Vacilão”, the popular samba originally recorded by Zeca Pagodinho.

Michel Legrand is an old french pianist and composer who won three Oscars with movies soundtracks. He was a great friend of Luiz Eça, the great pianist, and in 2004 came to Rio de Janeiro to invite Ivan Lins, Francis Hime, Jacques Molerembaum and other great musicians to record the album “Uma Homenagem a Luiz Eça“. Each track is a rare gem to be appreciated.

Caetano Veloso recorded in 1979 the album Cinema Transcedental. We’ll listen to Beleza Pura, one of the greatest hits of this album.
