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.

0002 – Trincando – Tim Maia, Novos Baianos and Stefano Bollani

Greetins, Everyone!

Baby Consuelo was Novos Baianos‘ singer when they recorded their greatest album Acabou Chorare, 1972. I was just thrilled by her voice in this recordings! Thanks for the hint, Gustavo!

In this same year the italian pianist Stefano Bollani was given birth. He would record in 2008 the album Carioca, delightfully playing brazilian songs.

In 1982, my own birth year, our Soul King Tim Maia recorded Nuvens in his own studio, the first indie album made in Brazil. I read his biography, written by Nelson Motta, THE MAN in music production and one of Tim Maia’s best friend. It is just amazing!
