Description
45’s series served up a double header of classics from Sonia Santos and
João Donato.
First up, 'Poema Ritmico Do Malandro (Balanço Do Crioulo)' is a beautiful track
from the instantly recognisable Sonia Santos. A song that drifts from classic
to psychedelic samba, laden with strings, horns and crowd noise. First
released on 7” by Copacabana in 1971, but never on an album, originals fetch
up to £100 per copy. A different version of this song also appears on the truly
excellent Zito Righi Alucinolandia LP.
On the B side, 'Cala Boca Menino' is taken from João Donato’s much sought
after and requested Quem É Quem LP. Quirky percussion, bubbling keys,
horns and a hypnotic vocal. Donato is a hugely prolific force in Brazilian
music and worked with the likes of including Tom Jobim, Astrud Gilberto,
Cal Tjader, Dom Um Romao and Gilberto Gil amongst others. ‘Cala Boca
Menino’ was released on a 7” in 1973 in Brazil, but is very difficult to find at a
reasonable price and in good condition these days.
