Salve a tutti,
per questo ultimo appuntamento dedicato alla musica brasiliana, ho voluto proporvi forse l'album che apprezzo di più per quanto riguarda questo genere:

Vinicius de Moraes, Toquinho e Maria Creuza en La Fusa

E' probabilmente uno degli album più conosciuti di Bossanova, ed è stato registrato dal vivo nel Club Café & Concert "La Fusa" in Argentina.

Eccovi alcune info:

The first Toquinho - Vinícius album brings some of the greatest Vinícius songs through his new collaboration with guitarist and singer Toquinho. According to liner notes written by Vinícius himself, he became acquainted with Toquinho in Buenos Aries club called La Fusa, where the latter performed sambas and bossa novas with female singer Maria Creuza. The encounter lead to this beautiful and historic recording, full of great bossa nova standards like Jobim's A Felicidade, Lamento no Morro, Garota de Ipanema, Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar and Se Todos Fossem Iguais a Você, Baden Powell's Berimbao, Consolação and marvellous version of Samba em Preludio, as well as some less known but equally beautiful songs like Carlos Lyra's Minha Namorada, Caetano Veloso's Irene, Toqunho - Jorge Ben's Que Maravilha and Vinicíus' Tomara. Simple arrangements consist of Toquinho's guitar, bass and percussion with excellent vocals of three of lead performers Vinícius, Toquinho and Maria Creuza. This album is a must for any bossa nova collector, but at the same time a great introductory album for all those that are not yet initiated.

La Fusa was a "cafe concert" (night club) located in Mar del Plata, Argentina in the late sixties, and later moving to Punta del Este, Uruguay. The two cities were, and are, the playground of the Argentine high class (and increasingly middle class as well). Vinicius brought his great Brazilian musicians to demonstrate the wonderfullness of bossa nova to appreciating crowds. There are two recordings, this one made I believe in Mar del Plata, and another one (referred to above) made in Punta del este with Maria Creuza, which is also wonderful. The live history of bossa nova.
