I've noticed a few World/International music posts lately so maybe it's time to revisit Brazilian artist Baden Powell (1937 - 2000).




...Samba Triste (instrumental)




...Samba Triste (w/Leila Pinheiro on vocals & piano)









...Various tunes





...Lamento





...Voltei





...Brief interview & performance not long before he died I believe.



If you can find this 13-CD box set, Baden Powell Box.....



...dig deep and make the investment.

1961 - Apresentando Baden Powell e seu violao

I really love him and I'm a big fan of his recordings for MPS. Amazing!

What's really amazing is that so few people (at least in the U.S.) know anything about him.

I'm a huge fan! But I remember you posting about the Box set before, I gotta get my mitts on that!!!!

I do think he's been a huge influence on people that might not even know him--Though he doesn't get popular recognition, he's certainly he's been an important factor in Brazilian music and it's merge with Jazz...
