I have been thinking about making this post for a long time, but it has been postponed due an issue. I decided today to show it to Loronixers. It was silly of mine to keep it here; the best way to get help is addressing the great Loronix community. Perhaps a easy question, Os 7 Velhinhos, Os Velhinhos Sensacionais and Os Velhinhos Transviados the same group? Anyway, while the answer does not come it is better to show you Os 7 Velhinhos.

This is Os 7 Velhinhos – Os 7 Velhinhos (1961), for Musidisc. We are used to see nice Musidisc cover and they we have this very simple, but effective one. This is the first out of three LPs released by Os Sete Velhinhos, three Musidisc LPs. At a first sight you might think it is another instrumental group from the 60’s, but there is something different with Os 7 Velhinhos, is an ensemble of top-notch musicians, as you can check with personnel listing, just before tracks. Tracks include:

Personnel
Maestro Carioca
Jose Menezes
Abel Ferreira
Nelson Martins
Nelsinho
Orlando Trinca
Maestro Formiga
Pedro Vidal
Jose Americo
Chiquinho do Acordeon

Track List

01 – Meditação (Tom Jobim / Newton Mendonça)
02 – Charmaine (E. Rapee / L. Pollack)
03 – Boneca (Benedito Lacerda / Aldo Cabral)

We spoke at Sao Paulo vinyl fair update post about the legendary Musidisc recording company. I cannot remember when or where, but I heard someone saying how great this label was and how many albums were released at Musidisc and the subsidiaries. This is another good example; take a look at this cover artwork, simply amazing for the early 60’s, taking the idea of Copacabana sidewalk mosaic. Let’s see what we have inside.

This is Os 7 Velhinhos – Bossa Nova (no date), for Musidisc. Except personnel, little is known about this LP, even the release date is missing. Bossa Nova (the album) can be easily please the fans of instrumental music and vocals, there are lyrics on tunes but the instrumental set and musicians, which includes maestros Formiga, Carioca and Nelsinho with Albel Ferreira, Jose Meneses, Chiquinho do Acordeon and others, is what I appreciate most at this release. Tracks include:

Personnel
Maestro Carioca
Abel Ferreira
Jose Meneses

Orlando Trinca
Maestro Formiga
Pedro Vidal
Jose Americo
Chiquinho do Acordeon
