Hello, Good Evening! Let’s start today celebrating the 93rd anniversary of one of the most important Brazilian artists, important for making the foundation of what we know today as the modern Brazilian Music. By the time he was alive, the music from Brazil was mainly regional or “country” music, he made a revolution, creating Sambas with sophisticated harmonies, beautiful melodies and revolutionary lyrics, picturing social life of Rio de Janeiro, the people in the 30′s. I’m talking about Noel Rosa.

Noel Rosa was so revolutionary that his music started to be acclaimed only ten years after his passing and as time passes he gets even more popular and recognized as a revolutionary artist. Noel Rosa said that Aracy de Almeida was her best interpreter and I want to say thanks to Moos for this contribution.

This is Aracy de Almeida – Noel Rosa na Voz de Aracy de Almeida (1968), for Continental. Aracy de Almeida tribute to Noel Rosa featuring the best of Noel repertoire. This is probably the third Aracy de Almeida album I had the chance to hear and it is truly amazing. Tracks include:

01 – Meu Barracão
02 – São Coisas Nossas
03 – Fita Amarela
04 – Cor de Cinza
05 – A Melhor do Planeta
06 – Palpite Infeliz
07 – Feitiço da Vila
08 – Pra Que Mentir
09 – Último Desejo
10 – Conversa de Botequim
11 – Não Tem Tradução
12 – Silêncio de Um Minuto

Aracy de Almeida e Ismael Silva – Show Samba Pede Passagem (1966)

My apologies to Ismael Silva, MPB-4, Carlos Poyares, Conjunto Samba Autentico, Partido Alto and Sidney Miller with his Grupo Mensagem, but this album is all about Aracy de Almeida, which is a Samba singer considered by Noel Rosa as the best interpreter of his compositions. Aracy de Almeida has a giant discography, mostly 78 RMPs and more than 50 years on recordings. My apologies also to do not make this post earlier, a friend of zecalouro sent this LP to Loronixers and I’m very happy to show it at the quality deserved.

This is Aracy de Almeida e Ismael Silva – Show Samba Pede Passagem (1966), for Polydor, recorded live at Teatro de Arena, Rio de Janeiro, December 1965, directed by Joao das Neves and Armando Costa, Musical Direction by Maestro Lindolfo Gaya and produced by Grupo Opiniao.

It is a shame that Aracy de Almeida is pretty unknown as a singer in Brazil. I don’t know exactly why and when, she made a shift on her career, leaving professional singing for a participation on a Brazilian TV Show, Show de Calouros, presented by Silvio Santos. I remember by the time Aracy de Almeida passed away, Brazilian media did not make a single mention of the great singer she was, but only as the woman of Show de Calouros. That’s why zecalouro is making two videos, the first is Aracy de Almeida performing Nao Me Diga Adeus (1975) and the second one is an excerpt of her participation at Show the Calouros. By the way, Aracy was fantastic on that show and I had a great time when I was a kid watching her. Tracks include:

Aracy de Almeida – Samba é Aracy de Almeida (1965)

My friends from Brazil will think the zecalouro is going nuts with this post. Those who have less than 45 years old will remember Aracy de Almeida as the bad humour character from a Sunday afternoon show of Silvio Santos. However, Aracy is much more than that, she is simply one of the best performer of Noel Rosa and many other genius from Brazilian music from the early twenty century.

Aracy is so unique that we will start from his last album, Samba é Aracy de Almeida from Elenco, 1965.
