We originally reissued Waltel Branco's 'Meu Balanço' in 1995, it was one of the first releases to come out on Mr Bongo. It is a much-requested title with original copies becoming ever more-scarce and the price tag increasingly rising, so it feels fitting to present this stunning record once again for all to enjoy. Waltel Branco was born in Paranaguá, Brazil in 1929 and died in Rio de Janeiro in 2018. During his triumphant career he accumulated an impressive musical portfolio. A true maestro who from the 1950s onwards appeared on productions as a guitarist, writer, conductor, composer, and arranger. He worked with some of the greats of Brazilian music including Elis Regina, Dom Um Romao, Bossa Três, Marcos Valle and Tony Bizarro to name just a few. 'Meu Balanço' was originally released on CBS Records Brazil in 1975. It is Brazilian big band, orchestrated jazz-funk at it's finest. Echoing the library and film productions created in Europe and the USA at the time, it also displays the hallmarks of Waltel's heritage with distinct threads of Brazilian flavour running throughout. The musicians on the record include under-the-radar players that were the backbone of the Brazilian music industry in the 1970s including Luizão Maia on bass, Edmundo Maciel on trombone and Paulinho Braga on drums. The album flirts between jazz-funk, cinematic library excursions, breaks and beats, easy-listening, and 70s cop show instrumentals. It is a breezy ride into Waltel's world, wonderfully nostalgic and of another time and place, yet snippets of the production echo the beats of contemporary hip-hop iconic artists such as Madlib, knxwledge and The Alchemist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Luar Do Sertão\u003cbr\u003e2 Sonho No Céu\u003cbr\u003e3 Meu Balanço\u003cbr\u003e4 Lady Samba\u003cbr\u003e5 Apenas Um Coração Solitário\u003cbr\u003e6 Jael\u003cbr\u003e7 Walking\u003cbr\u003e8 Satiricon\u003cbr\u003e9 Carmen\u003cbr\u003e10 Meiguice\u003cbr\u003e11 Petit Fils\u003cbr\u003e12 Zoraia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56666388857164,"sku":"7119691288116","price":6.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/2913\/4412\/files\/4169447-2928058.jpg?v=1770371768","url":"https:\/\/vinylpulses.com\/products\/waltel-branco-meu-balanco-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
