Just back from Panorama, a very nice place to small concerts such like the great performance of Irinea Maria and her very special guests Clarisse Grova, Celia Vaz, Marcio Proenca, Suely Correa, the fantastic vocal group Nos Quatro, Luiza (yes, Luiza!) and many others this parrot cannot remember. Wonderful night. Thanks Irinea! A wonderful night deserves a mandatory repost of a magnificent album, o

This is a nice and rare 1968 LP from the vocal group Momento Quatro, a quartet formed by Ze Rodrix, Ricardo Sa, Mauricio Mendonça and David Tygel. This is the only LP ever recorded by this vocal group, all these four artists were later renowned by further activities, Ze Rodrix was later the main member of Som Imaginario and then of Sa, Rodrix and Guarabyra, Ricardo Sa is known today as Ricardo Vil

Hello, good evening! Today we will make a required upgrade on a very important Dolores Duran tribute LP recorded by Lucio Alves in 1960. Several tributes were made since Dolores Duran passing in 1959, and I’m sure this one is my favorite. Lucio Alves is backed by a dream team, delivering his unique interpretation and also putting his heart on each tune. If you are new to Dolores Duran or Lucio Alv

Hello, good evening! We have a good reason to postpone the start of our Samba Saturday at Loronix, the International Women's Day is being celebrated today and this post is Loronix homage to all women in the world, being also celebrated by Leo Ribeiro and Martoni at their Forma e Elenco Radio Show. I would like also to thanks JOAO-SP and the friends of CBox for shouting about this date, I have to a

Os Titulares do Ritmo - Os Titulares do Ritmo Interpretam Antonio Carlos Jobim e Vinicius de Moraes (1973) This post is making anniversary today, it was first released one year ago and there are several reasons for this reposting, this is an amazing album, recorded by a renowned vocal group that recorded several albums throughout decades. For those reasons that we cannot explain, I have been searc

This is a very curious Brazilian vocal group. Caetano Rodrigues introduced O Grupo to Loronixers through their first self-titled album released by Odeon in 1968. I thought that one was their first and only album released. Mr. G., the legendary contributor, added more info on O Grupo discography, providing to Loronixers their second album, recorded by Radio and released a couple of weeks ago. Mr. G

Antonio Carlos & Jocafi, nice Brazilian dudes who made a real noise in the 70's with several songs on top of the charts. I do not know who is Antonio Carlos and Jocafi at the picture, but if you were in Brazil in 1971 and 1972, you probably heard until get exausted their top hit, Voce Abusou, which is the opening track of their debut LP, Antonio Carlos & Jocafi - Mudei de Ideia (1971). There are s

I was really happy when I found this album that I had only a copy sent by a friend on MP3s files. Now I can say that I'm a happy owner of the original LP issue on a very good quality, almost not played before. It is also a pleasure to share another Dick Farney album, by the way, one of the greatest albums he made. Dick Farney has been surprising many Jazz fans around the world that are tuned at Lo

I think people of my generation in Brazil already know Lucio Alves or at least heard about him. I have to admit that before starting Loronix I knew only the basis, I didn't know, for instance, that Joao Gilberto always took his albums to hear with Lucio Alves, as a disciple getting the approval of his master. I became obsessed by Lucio Alves on LPs, compactos, 78 RPMs, no matter how. I believe Lor

Ary Barroso com Silvio Caldas - Musica de Ary Barroso, Canta Silvio Caldas (1953) Hello, good evening! zecalouro is a big fan of singers with potent voices, such like Francisco Alves and Angela Maria. He goes nuts with opera, especially when played loud. I decided to change his “playlist” today with this album, having in mind the potent voice of Silvio Caldas. My parrot did not like it very much,

We had a Dick Farney video a couple of days ago and since that day I did not stop thinking on releasing another Dick Farney album. It has been a long time since the last one, Dick Farney - Noite (1981), released in the end of August. It is a great coincidence to find this one, recorded live in 1986, which is the same year of the video presented. Let's see. This is Dick Farney - Ao Vivo | Inverno &

Today posts were not planned and it was one of the days that I like most. Non-planned days produces nice outcomes, for instance, no instrumental music today, also, a nice harmonization of three albums to Loronixers, we started with a female singer, Neusa Maria, made a male singer in the middle, Joao Bosco and the close blends boys and girls, MPB-4 and Quarteto em Cy performing together. Isn't that

Chico Anysio & Arnaud Rodrigues - Azambuja & Cia. (1975) Hello, this is a multi purpose and very rare LP, Azambuja & Cia. (1975). The dudes behind the Azambuja character are Chico Anysio and Arnaud Rodrigues, successful TV comedians from the 70's and 80's. A collector item from DJs around the world that uses to classify this album as a "funky, groovy, boogie, soul LP". Excellent musicians were on

Jamelao, one of the most important Samba interpreters in Brazil has died today, was 95. Jamelao was the lead singer of the legendary Samba Scholl Estacao Primeira de Mangueira, and also very active on recordings, releasing more than 200 albums, starting in 1949 until his last release in 2002. This is Loronix tribute to Jamelao - Ela Disse-me Assim (1959), a compilation released by Continental with

Hello, Good Night! What a hot summer day in Rio de Janeiro. I have a problem with high temperatures, maybe my blood pressure falls, I don't known. zecalouro likes that. The days are longer, especially with daylight savings. He uses to take daily baths in summertime, he loves bath. I'm now trying to verse him on classic music and it seems he will become a great enthusiast, especially with the opera

Here comes Caetano again with another of those nice and challenging LPs. This time featuring one of Loronix favorites, Luiz Eca, accompanied by a giant group of top-notch Brazilian musicians. This LP was recorded in 1970, Brazil and besides this info and personnel listing, everything else is uncertain. This is Luiz Eca & Sagrada Familia - Onda Nova do Brasil (1970), for Lazarus, Mexico (1978). It
