This is a very special gift that our community received today by our friend Cyril Morana from France. I don’t know how to express myself to show my gratitude to receive this really special record on such important day. Cyril says he is very sad with Henri Salvador passing last Wednesday and I join him on his feelings for the lost of a true genius of planet Earth music.

This is Henri Salvador – Dans Mon Ile Nr. 3 (1958), for Barclay, in the 45rpm EP format, featuring Dans Mon Ile, a very important song that influenced Brazilian music and Bossa Nova, according with Antonio Carlos Jobim and many others. Henri Salvador performs Dans Mon Ile and it is the definitive version among many others I have heard so far. I’m really glad to read the feedback given to yesterday’s tribute to Henri Salvador and with Cyril’s help I think we now have the tribute Henri Salvador deserves. The music is available as a direct link to everybody. Tracks include:

01 – Dans mon île (Maurice Pon / H. Salvador)
02 – Marianne (Terry Gilkyson / F. Miller / R. Dehr / J. Larue)
03 – Mathilda (H. Thomas / F. Bonifay)
04 – Je peux pas travailler (Boris Vian / Salvador)

Não tinha esse EP. Porém, graças aos amigos Andreas e  Martoni, ele pode ser buscado aqui.

Henri Salvador, one of France’s most talented musicians, died of aneurysm Wednesday at his home in Paris. He was 90. Henri Salvador had a great passion to the music from Brazil and Bossa Nova and this music video featuring Chambre Avec Vue is Loronix tribute to this great artist. Let’s watch this video and dedicate a minute of our time to the memory of Henri Salvador.

Here we go on France, which has position 5 on visitors number last year. Today was great, a European day, by the way. Perhaps Caetano got such like zecealouro on deciding between several good choices and made this jointly album, a compilation, and bringing together three renowned French artists. I hope to see one day one of these albums alone.

The first we will comment is all about Brazil, Claire Chevalier – Saveur Bresil, featuring the guitar of Rosinha de Valenca in all tracks. Here we have a singer that I never had contact before, she sings nicely and Rosinha de Valenca guitar can be heard loud and clear on tracks selected by Caetano. Personnel is unknown and the rhythm section works very good, giving the album that Brazilian atmosphere that we love. These are the tracks selected by Caetano from Claire Chevalier – Saveur Bresil.

01 – Les Fevilles Mortes
02 – Les Moulins de Mon Ceur
06 – La Valse des Lilas
07 – L’ Absent
12 – Que Reste-il de Nos Amours
13 – Un Homme et Une Femme
15 – Jet’ Aumerai
16 – Ces Petits Rien

This is an artist that does not need an introduction, very wise of Caetano selecting tracks from Henri Salvador – Chambre Avec Vue. Henri Salvador is a real legend, he started his career in the 30’s and did not stop releasing records, reinventing his art and always keeping a Brazilian influence. These are Henri Salvador – Chambre Avec Vue tracks selected by Caetano.

03 – Jai Vu
04 – Jazz Mediterranee
08 – Vagabond
09 – Aime-Moi

Closing Caetano tribute to French Loronixers, we have the well-known Sacha Distel, one of the first contributions from Caetano to Loronixers with an album that I have all my best feeling for it, Sacha Distel – Un Amour, un Sourire, Une Fleur. Caetano’s Sacha Distel picks are.

05 – Agua de Beber
10 – Garota de Ipanema
11 – Corcovado
14 – Meditacao

Não tinha este disco. Porém, graças aos amigos Bili e Martoni, ele está disponível na Rádio Forma e Elenco.

I’m not surprised to see France taking the position 5 on our country ranking. I have relatives living in France and seem to me that every person in France is tuned with everything about Brazil. The numbers supports this argument; Paris is the city where most of French Loronixers come from with 37% of visits. Lyon and Nice take the second and third place and there are more than 160 others cities with people reaching Loronix.

This is truly awesome. Thanks Loronixers from France, you represent a great portion of our community with a strong contribution to Loronix.

Best Regards, zecalouro
