{"product_id":"tristeza-on-guitar-baden-powell","title":"Powell Baden - Tristeza On Guitar  [VINYL]","description":"Brazilian guitar maestro Baden Powell's seminal years with producer Joachim-Ernst Berendt and MPS stretch from 1966 to 1975, with a total of two sets of three LPs. 'Tristeza On Guitar' was the beginning of this nine-year collaboration. The repertoire is in no way characterized by sadness, as the title might cause one to believe. It embraces a sublime spectrum ranging from a ritual feel to exuberant carnival atmosphere on through to intimate songs with a singable quality. Baden clothes the title piece, the famous bittersweet samba from Haroldo Lobo and Niltinho, in a dance-like virtuoso succession of variations. He fashions the theme Manha De Carnaval from the movie Black Orpheus into a ritualistic celebration of pain. The pieces dedicated to the gods of the Afro-Brazilian Candomblé religion (Canto de Xangô, Canto de Ossanha) are central to the album. They originate from the \"Afro-sambas\" music cycle completed four years earlier; here they have flowered to perfection. Monk's Round Midnight takes on the colors of a balmy tropical evening; the studio's ingenious use of space helps create the appropriately mysterious atmosphere. And in the middle lies a valuable solo inlay: Bahian poet Dorival Caymmi's unadorned song Das Rosas transformed into a serenade on the strings. Today, over half a century later, one still succumbs to this fascinating \"gateway drug\" - the first MPS album of this Brazilian maestro.","brand":"PROP-ESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46393708151106,"sku":"1190268","price":30.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/products\/51m5eav8o5L._SL1500.jpg?v=1615480577","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/tristeza-on-guitar-baden-powell","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
