Really, really wise of Caetano when he sent this album with a note: “to be released at Saturday night”. I did not understand why it should be released on this specific day, but today Caetano told me: “This is to celebrate Mother’s day, stupid Parrot”. Very wise of Caetano, he is right, I didn’t make this easy association…

Although people in different countries celebrate Mother’s Day on different days of the year, Loronix and Caetano Rodrigues would like to dedicate this beautiful album to all Mother’s in the world.

This is As Melhores Mulheres (Cantadas por um Homem Qualquer ou Qualquer Homem) (1957), for Odeon. In spite of the big title, I did not write the artist or group name, however, Caetano thinks – and I agree with him – this is a male choir lead by Aloysio de Oliveira since his voice can be heard clear in some tracks. As Melhores Mulheres was released in 1957, before Bossa Nova and feature arrangements from Maestro Antonio Carlos Jobim and Orlando Silveira, which makes this album a sought after vinyl collectors piece. Thanks once again for this great music and also for Mother’s Day surprise in the last minute. Tracks include:

01 – Maria (Ary Barroso / Luis Peixoto)
02 – Helena Helena (Antônio Almeida / Constantino Silva “Secundino”)
03 – Aurora (Mário Lago / Roberto Roberti)
04 – Zazá (Joel de Almeida)
05 – Rosa Morena (Dorival Caymmi)
06 – Emília (Haroldo Lobo / Wilson Batista)
07 – Marina (Dorival Caymmi)
08 – Dolores (Arlindo Marques Júnior / Marino Pinto / Alberto Ribeiro)
09 – Ai Que Saudades da Amélia (Ataulfo Alves / Mário Lago)
10 – Magdalena (Ari Macedo / Airton Amorim)
11 – Juraci (Antônio Almeida / Ciro de Souza)
12 – Um Nome de Mulher (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)

Este disco já tinha sido publicado no Loronix com outra capa (abaixo) e com o título “Dançando com as Garotas” – Os Guanabara Boys. Portanto, também já foi publicado aqui nos Órfãos do Loronix.

Let’s move forward presenting another fine selection from our friend Caetano Rodrigues, a very hard to find Bossa Nova LP with several hidden surprises on it. Thanks Caetano, I think Loronixers will have a lot of fun with this release.

This is Os Guanabara Boys – Dancando com as Garotas (N/A), for Imperial. The tracklist is one of the surprises, it is almost impossible to realize this record date, but we can consider this LP an early conceptual record, since all tracks have songs with names of women. Second hidden treasure is the crooner, the lead singer, by the way, another successful Caetano Rodrigues analysis; he could identify the voice of Aloysio de Oliveira from previous recordings, specially those ones at the box set O Maximo da Bossa, for Elenco. The third and last can be easily found examining the back cover, all arrangements are from Antonio Carlos Jobim and Orlando Silveira.

Twelve songs with name of girls, the Legendary Aloysio de Oliveira on lead vocals and all arrangements by Antonio Carlos Jobim, you cannot go wrong with Os Guanabara Boys. Tracks include:

01 – Aurora (Mário Lago / Roberto Roberti)
02 – Helena Helena (Antônio Almeida / Constantino Silva “Secundino”)
03 – Zazá (Joel de Almeida)
04 – Rosa Morena (Dorival Caymmi)
05 – Emília (Haroldo Lobo / Wilson Batista)
06 – Maria (Ary Barroso / Luis Peixoto)
07 – Marina (Dorival Caymmi)
08 – Dolores (Arlindo Marques Júnior / Marino Pinto / Alberto Ribeiro)
09 – Ai Que Saudades da Amélia (Ataulfo Alves / Mário Lago)
10 – Magdalena (Ari Macedo / Airton Amorim)
11 – Juraci (Antônio Almeida / Ciro de Souza)
12 – Um Nome de Mulher (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
