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.

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.
