Les trésors cachés

Paulinho Nogueira is certainly not the most prominent name of bossa nova but this album from 1972 could surprise you : first class arrangements (Rogerio Duprat, José Briamonte, Luiz Arruda Paes) on beautiful songs mostly penned by the guitarist himself, this album is a very solid listen from start to end. if Rogerio's touch is immediatly recognizable and makes him almost a co-composer, the big chill for me is given by the elegant arrangements of José Briamonte on the songs Um, dois, trés and P'ra você que vai chegar, with their discreet samba feel.

Not clear what executives had in mind with this cover, maybe trying to attract the listener looking for some feel good festive brazilian music. Not sure it was the best way to prepare to the wildness of Tuca's singing on this song, sounding more like some crazy indie brazilian folk than patropi.

Yves Montand singing creola on carribean jazz, sublime, just have to look to the musicians involved.
