Nanai e Turma do Sereno – Zé Carioca e Seu Conjunto – Personalidades (1956)

RGE RLP 007

Nanai has made a good impression with his other album Noite de Samba No Nanai (1965) which was posted here two and half years ago.

Searches conducted at that time have revealed the existence of another album featuring this outstanding personality: Personalidades, a 10′ Inch LP, shared with another, to me previously unknown artist: Zé Carioca.

I placed this rarity immediately on my Santa Claus list and this morning Santa sent it to us via Pedro & 300discos.

About Nanai and Zé Carioca you may read a text written by Roberto Côrte-Real. His text reveals also a big part of Zé Carioca‘s real name but unfortunately a few letters are covered so that it looks something like JOSÉ PATRO????O DE OLIVEIRA.
Nanai‘s real name was revealed to us by Sidney Ferreira shortly after the publication of his ’65 album as Arnaldo Humberto de Medeiros.

Lado A – Zé Carioca:

1. Três Estrelinhas (Pixinguinha)
2. Dois Brasileiros Em Tokyo (Oliveira)
3. Dois de Junho (Ângelo Apolônio ”Poly”)
4. Desilusão (Oliveira)

Lado B – Nanai:

5. Teus Olhinhos (Nanai)
6. September Song (Kurt Weill / Maxwell Anderson)
7. Lua Boba (Henrique Simonetti / Nadir Peres)
8. Morro Mas Não Entrego (Haroldo Barbosa)

THE FIFTY-FIFTY TEN INCH

JOSÉ CARIOCA’S REAL NAME by Tonto: His real name is José do Patrocínio Oliveira. More about him on Wikipedia.

Nanai e Seu Conjunto – Noite de Samba No Nanai (1965)

Musidisc Hi-Fi 2130
As much as I try not to voice my own opinion, there are times when it is difficult for me not to do so.
Now is one of such moments: The premiere of Nanai on Parallel Realities is more than just a pleasant surprise. A live recording full of good atmosphere, with all the sounds the guests in the (small) club usually make recorded along. Straightforward, strong and addictive. I could not stop spinning it countless times ever since I first heard it.

About Nanai I know nothing, and even the text on the back cover (which was damaged) has not been possible to restore to the point that I could read it, but I suppose he is the singer. A cool, unpretentious voice, accompanied with a conjunto that has the rhythm in their bones.

Sounds like cachaça had been poured straight from barrels:

01. Garota Moderna (Jair Amorim / Evaldo Gouveia)
      Diz Que Fui Por Aí (Zé Keti / Hortêncio Rocha)

02. Garota de Ipanema (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
      Acender As Velas (Zé Keti)

03. Opinião (Zé Keti)

04. Corcovado (Tom Jobim)

05. Eu Quero Um Samba (Haroldo Barbosa / Janet de Almeida)

06. Valsa de Uma Cidade (Ismael Netto / Antônio Maria)

07. Agora É Cinza (Alcebíades Barcelos “Bide” / Armando “Marçal”)
      Leva Meu Samba (Ataulfo Alves)
      Emília (Wilson Batista / Haroldo Lobo)

08. Ai Que Saudades da Amélia (Ataulfo Alves / Mário Lago)
      Já Vai? (Rubens Campos / Duba / Evaldo Ruy)

09. Pastorinhas (João de Barro / Noel Rosa)
      Mal-Me-Quer (Cristóvão de Alencar / Newton Teixeira)

10. Não Tive Tempo (Haroldo Barbosa / Nanai)

11. Se Acaso Você Chegasse (Lupicínio Rodrigues / Felisberto Martins)

The tracks are included individually but also as two tracks: Lado A and Lado B without interruption.

The phrase which was legible on the back cover is:
