Something like 1 year ago, my good friend Edson Carvalho, who knew my interest in 78rpm, gave me a call telling me that a friend of him has just grab a radio stock of 78rpm, something like 3000 records! He also added that if I'm interested, we should be fast since there are some guys in São Paulo that are buying everything they can find in 78rpm, not matter what it is, they just buy! The answer I gave him was the only one conceivable: "I need to check that batch asap!" Half an hour and a few phone calls later and It was scheduled, we were going to get our hands dirty a couple of days later!
Once there, It actually wasn't 3000 records but more something like a thousand, which is definitely not that bad! After a few hours of digging into dozens of dusty boxes of 78rpm, I went out with around 70 pieces in my bag. A few ones were like "sure shots", like this Abigail Moura (Orquestra Afro-Brasileira) for example, but the most were blind purchases, acquired because of the rhythm, the label or the composer. It appears that almost all of them were absolutely beautiful tracks. Deep, obscure, raw and delicately perfumed of this 50's/60's mood that I love so much!
So this selection is the first set of tracks coming out from that lucky find!
It goes from deep and raw Brazilian North Eastern sounds to super orchestrated production, passing by dancefloor killer Rojão and Jazzy Baião.
Quite a singular mixture that will, I hope, delight you as musch as us! Volume 2.2 coming soon!
