About this album
The music of Cartola, the greatest composer of all time from the hills of Rio de Janeiro, according to Sergio Cabral, transcends generations and is part of the history of Brazilian vocal and instrumental music.
This songbook contains the complete transcriptions of Dino 7 cordas (including all the repetitions of each part) from the historical recordings made by Cartola in the 70's. The recordings include Dino 7 cordas, Meira and Canhoto, who were the core of Benedicto Lacerda's choro ensemble. Other important names of the Brazilian choro and instrumental music are also present in the recordings: Altamiro Carrilho, Abel Ferreira, Copinha, Raul de Barros, Guinga, José Menezes, among others.
We also transcribed Altamiro Carrilho's flute, when present in the original recording (five songs in total), Copinha’s flute and Raul de Barros’ trombone in “Corra e Olhe o Céu” and Airton Barbosa’s bassoon in “Preciso me Encontrar.”
All scores also include complete melody transcriptions and associated chord figures and are available for C, B-flat and E-flat instruments.
A word about the audio files: we used the original recordings to obtain the backing tracks, but even with lots of effort put into removing Cartola's voice, the backing tracks don't have "studio quality," but they are a great tool for studying purposes. It is also a lot of fun to be able to play with Dino 7 cordas, Altamiro Carrilho and all others.
Good practice and have fun!
