I must confess that I was amazed when I saw the front cover of this album by the famous vocal Trio Irakitan. The obvious question bothering me was:

What trouble could have forced three grown up guys to dress like boy scouts?

Then I looked closer at the back cover and found a text signed by a certain Dr João Ribeiro dos Santos…

The songs performed are:

01. Alerta (Benevenuto Cellini dos Santos)
02. A Árvore da Montanha (Tradicional)
03. Hino do Ajuri Nacional (João Ribeiro dos Santos)
04. O Cuco (Tradicional)
05. O Mar Estava Sereno (Tradicional)
06. Guingangule (Tradicional)
07. Espírito de B P (Tradicional)
08. Rataplan do Mar (Benevenuto Cellini dos Santos)
09. Canção da Alvorada (João Ribeiro dos Santos)
10. Quebra Coco (Tradicional)
11. Acorda Escoteiro Acorda (Tradicional)
12. Stodola (Tradicional)
13. Polenta (Tradicional)
14. Canção da Despedida (Auld Lang Syne) (Tradicional)

SEMPRE ALERTA

An Odeon showcase:

01. Foi a noite (A. C. Jobim / Newton Mendonça) – Sylvia Telles
02. Só Louco (Dorival Caymmi) – Dorival Caymmi
03. Molambo (Jayme Florence / Augusto Mesquita) – Roberto Luna
04. Não diga não ((Tito Madi / Georges Henry) – Heleninha Silveira
05. Prece (Alberto Ribeiro) – Dalva de Oliveira
06. Contando estrelas (Alfredo Borba / Edson Borges) – Isaura Garcia
07. Brasa (Lupicinio Rodrigues / Felisberto Martins) – Orlando Silva
08. Siga (Hélio Guimarães / Fernando Lobo) – Trio Irakitan

The pleasant voice of Heleninha Silveira I have never heard before, so this encounter came as a pleasant surprise. Immediate research revealed 5 listed 78 rpm albums recorded in the period from 1955 to 1957.

Edson Mendes informed me in a second mail that three more of Heleninha‘s songs can be found on Youtube.

Why she has not continued her singing career is a mystery to me.
