PALMEIRA - CD PALMEIRA

Popis - PALMEIRA:
Tropicalia-like music from a far from tropical country like
Holland, does it exist? Of course not! However, between 1979
and the mid-'80s there was an exception. Palmeira was founded
by Angelo Noce Santoro, some ten years after he was the
guitarist of psych-prog legends Cosmic Dealer. On Palmeira's
sole '83 album we hear early '70s-styled bossa, jazz and Latin
flavoured songs, featuring beautiful female vocals and
impressive musicianship. There are original compositions as
well as covers of songs known from a.o. Caetano Veloso, Joao
Gilberto and Rita Lee. Original copies of this self-released LP
are incredibly rare, so this is a welcome reissue! And this CD-edition offers no less than six bonus tracks, dating from the same year as the album. These include some great renditions of songs by Edu Lobo and Jorge Ben among others.
