www.sabadabada.comHello everybody! Sorry it took so long, and to be honest, I don't know a lot about the artists I posted this time around. I have been exploring uncharted territory venturing into a strange new decade, and mostly I've been collecting soap opera sound-tracks from the early 70's originally released on the Som Livre label and then going from there (I like to think that somewhere in Brazil somebody is listening to the soundtrack from "Three's Company" and thinking its really cool because that's basically what it sounds like only sung in Portuguese). The Milito LP is one of the best records I've picked up in months (the first song is really bad, but nobody's perfect) the rest of the album is really cool with electric piano and vocals by Quarteto Forma, I thinks its much better than the more popular Milito LP released on Som Livre. The Dom Salvador is straight-up soul and even has some great breaks on it. Baby Consuelo who does the vocals on the "Novos Baianos" LP sings "Tinindo Trincando" and "A Minina Danca" with complete and reckless abandon. I know that its a departure from the straight-forward bossa I usually post-up, but it was time for a change and its really good stuff."Learn it, know it, live it!"

I sold that Novos Baianos recently, wasn't really feeling it. It might have grown on me over the course of time, but hey, that's how it goes.
Apparently not getting his money's worth
you know something i dont Danno?
And wanted to thank you.
The biggest output of releases were from Polygram (Philips, Polydor & Forma) from late 60s through to mid 70s and the Som Livre label from 71 onwards. The CID, Continental & Copacabana labels also released some things, though not much. Then there was also independent stuff like 'Bacalao' (soft sex comedy spoof of 'Jaws') and 'Soninha Toda Pura' which was censored by the Military Goverment because it was about lesbian lovers! They even censored the 7" single picture sleeve of two women about to kiss, very hard to find with the original black and white picture cover (told by Brazilian dealers I'm very fortunate to have with original sleeve).
The best track is the funky organ B-Side number "Tema De Soninha" by I.R.P.3, which is actually Erlon Chaves who made a couple of really good funky soundtracks (unfortunatly they are all hard to get, and go for big bucks even in Brazil).This can be found on a Jazzman reissue single, also contains France Galls version of "Zozoi" on the flip...
Do you know where i can find an actual DVD of videotape of "Cronica Da Cidade Amanda"?
Lurk on various sites, mostly Vinyl Vultures out of the UK. I did email you once over on your site with info on a Dutch pressing of G9 Group LP which has a different sleeve to the original Brazilian pressing. You can check out things I play on a show called 'Happy Jazz' on www.danceandsoul.com, or also on www.ipodyourmondo.com (www.momdomm.com)
Not aware of any releases of "Cronica Da Cidade" on video or dvd! There is not really much of a culture in Brazil of archiving film and TV material. There was a big fire over at Globo studios in the 80s, so most of their stock of old Novela shows that they did have was destroyed. Maybe things will start to change in the next few years, as now they are starting to release some old music shows through Trama label, so maybe someone might start with films in the near future!!!
