Bossanova - brazilian music

[SPlDEY]

Bossa nova was really overwhelming, like a girl with three pussies - Tom Ze

Hey Strider.. last year I made a compilation for my friends called Saudades. To get them interested in Brazillian music. I think the Megaupload link still works. If you're interested:

One of my absolute favorites is Vinicius de Moraes. He was more of a lyricist but nonetheless absolutely essential to the scene and worked with all the heavy hitters. The album "Os Afro Sambas" he cut w/ Baden Powell is so gorgeous, and considered a classic. if you can try to cop the original version not the one w/ only Powell.





A fascinating character too. In addition to being a poet, he was also Brazilian diplomat until he had some differences with the military dictatorship. Afterward he continued to be politically outspoken. He was also a raging alcoholic and was famous for the saying (roughly) "Whiskey is bottled dog, man's best friend"

Lalo Schifrin had a big orchestra for his bossa nova albums and used it well:











There are only about 100 versions of Upa Neguinho to download and compare here:

This record is on ebay right now for $30.

Sill one of my all-time favorites. Nilser release featuring Nilo Sergio and Ed Lincoln. Very nice bossa nova lp. Someone should grab it. It's easily a $100 record.

Congrats. Its such a great LP. Very delicate, very sophisticated. Each track is two songs that meld one into the other. Its just such a wonderful underrecognized LP. I bought it probably 15 years ago, and still go to it constantly. I hope you like it.

 

[pcmr]

i took a leap of faith because of your recommendation and the whole LP seems to scream sophistication


i think that's bossa at its essence


i can't wait as it has been a long time since i've had a new bossa LP really grab me

 

[Horseleech]

Are there any other Nilser's you recommend?





I have the As Vedetes, sort of an Em Cy knockoff that's pretty cool, and the Bossa Nova Modern Quartet, which is also decent.

 

[sabadabada]

The Danca Romance LPs are not that great. Bossa Nova Quartet "Bossa Nova Jazz Samba" is very similar to Camera and is probably the same line up. The musicians are never credited. The only other one that is worth it, is the Rubens Basinni Latino Fantastico. Which is pretty awesome. I put together a list of Nilser releases awhile back as best I could.

Here's one I was listening to earlier today:











It perhaps veers more towards the jazz side of things, and might be a too much of a dancer if you're looking for that urbane, sophisticated bossa sound, but whatever, it's still bossa nova to my ears.

 

[sabadabada]

Great Orlann Divo LP. I have the other two and missed an opportunity to get this one about 8 years back. Regret it. Somewhere I read that Jorge Ben took his early singing style from Orlann. I think this is what they call Balanco.

 

[pcmr]

i adore that song...long time want

 

[Plantweed]

Was just browsing the bossa listings on eBay and was disappointed at how many sellers neglect putting up soundclips. Luckily there are a couple of good Brazilian sellers who put up multiple ones per listing, so I bought from them.

 

[MoogMan]

This one is a nice piece of Latin percussion, brazilian rhythms and Exotica:





NS: 1007 Rubens Bassini ???Latino Fant??stico???

 

[Horseleech]

I've never seen that one IRL, but I'm intrigued by 'Far Out Stereo'!

That's just Far Out Recordings, right?

The original record label is Nilser which I was told came from Nilo Sergio.

Weird! They replaced Nilser's name in the cover for Far Out Stereo. NAGL.
