Concert in Copacabana

We presented an intimate and beautiful show in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, about Chico Buarque and Maria Bethânia. Here are some videos:

Cobras e Lagartos

This is a very cool song from Hermínio Bello de Carvalho and Sueli Costa.

Sinal Fechado / Sem Fantasia

This song is from Paulinho da Viola. Sem Fantasia is a song from Chico Buarque.

Flor da Idade

This is a song from Chico Buarque.

We presented the concert in two days. Almost 600 people watched to this, total. No big propaganda, no great advertisements. Pretty good results!

0012 – Araújo e Lugar – Aldir Blanc, Paulo César Pinheiro, Guinga, Djavan, Leila Pinheiro, Chico Buarque, Ed Motta and Quarteto Maogani

The lyrics writers Aldir Blanc and Paulo César Pinheiro will be presented in some compositions they made with the composer Guinga. These two guys have much more different recorded songs than the vast majority of the other brazilian composers, including the stars Tom Jobim, Chico Buarque, Djavan and so on. Despite that fact, in my opinion, they truely shine when writing lyrics for Guinga’s songs.

Ed Motta started his career being known as Tim Maia’s nephew, but due to his great voice performances, he could actually manage to become very successful singer.

Leila Pinheiro is also a great singer. She was born in Belém do Pará, capital city of Pará, a state in the North region.

Quarteto Maogani is one of our best acoustic guitar quartet’s. It’s integrated by Paulo Aragão, Marcos Alves, Maurício Marques and Carlos Chaves.

You already know Chico Buarque and Djavan from other editions.

All these artists have recorded Guinga’s songs.

But Guinga, himself, has made an arrangement for O Barquinho, from Roberto Menescal, together with Leila Pinheiro. You’ll listen to all this stuff in this edition.

0011 – Berekekê – Ben Jor, Francis, Chico, Tom, Sinatra, Gal, Raphael, Ari, Ney, Geraldo, Paulinho and Hermínio

Jorge Ben Jor is one of the best groove makers here. He was a friend of Tim Maia, Roberto Carlos and Erasmo Carlos since childhood. Jorge and Tim had the same nickname “Babulina” when they were teenagers and started their school bands, because of Roonie Self’s “Bop-A-Lena” song. They were huge fans of rockabilly style.

Francis Hime is a great Bossa Nova composer. You’ll be amazed by Passaredo, in which Chico Buarque was his partner.

Frank Sinatra recorded an album with Tom Jobim’s songs. It is a very pleasing album. Listen to Corcovado, or Quiet Nights, the title in the English lyrics.

Gal Costa is one of the best singers in the world. She released a very sweet and sentimental live album in Trama records, from which I have taken a track to put here.

In “Meu Violão” edition, you listened to Raphael Rabello’s production. Now, enjoy his guitar in No Rancho Fundo, a song from the composer Ari Barroso, with the singer Ney Matogrosso.

Geraldo Azevedo is another composer from Pernambuco, as Capiba, showed in Meu Violão edition. He is a soulful poet, very skilled guitar player and a cool singer. He started learning all by himself at 12, and many years later became a reference with his beautiful songs.

Paulinho da Violais one of our most popular samba composers. Listen to a song made together with Hermínio Bello de Carvalho, a great poet who wrote many of our most popular songs as a parner of astonishing musicians.

0010 – Meu Violão – Capiba, Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Raphael Rabello, Baden Powell and Fagner

Capiba’s song are integral part of Pernambuco’s lore. It is a state in the Northeast region. We’ll play two of the songs he made after the famous cities Recife (his hometown) and Olinda (the city with one of the best carnivals in the world). Raphael Rabello’s guitar is featured in both songs. Chico Buarque and Caetano Veloso’s voices are also featured. Raphael Rabello was producing this album while he prematurely died, in 1995. In 2002, her sister, the musician Luciana Rabello, finished the beautiful production.

We’ll play also three Baden Powell’s songs. The legendary acoustic guitar player interprets Luiz Gonzaga, Moacir Santos and one of his own songs, the remarkable Berimbau. Great live stuff, recorded in Frankfurt, 1975. He also sings here with his delicate voice.

The singer Raimundo Fagner is well known for his dramacity. Few people know the begining of his great career. I’ll show two from the album Orós, which was produced by the music wizard Hermeto Pascoal in 1977.

0004 – Big Fish – Chico Buarque, João Bosco and Martinho da Vila

This time, we bring you three of our greatest and most popular composers! Chico Buarque, João Bosco and Martinho da Vila!

By 2006, the legendary Chico Buarque recorded the sophisticated album Carioca,  with many rhythm fusions, great beats and some experimental concepts in composition.

João Bosco recorded Dá Licença Meu Senhor in 1995. Besides being a wonderful composer, he brings his interpretive side to the album, reconstructing very famous songs with new rhythms and styles. We’ll play two of his choices: Vatapá and Se Você Jurar.

In 1974, Martinho da Vila recorded the album Canta Canta, Minha Gente! Among Candomble’s religious hymns are sambas that caught people’s attention. Here we’ll play the partido-alto samba style Canta Canta, Minha Gente and Visgo de Jaca, a groovy Bossa Nova strongly influenced by Joao Gilberto’s singing style.
