Paebiru (Brazil) for Psychdelic or Folk

As a birthday gift to Guigo, I'am going to put under PA avaliation the album Paebiru, from Zeca Ramalho & Lula Cortês to psychdelic or folk.

See, there is a great difficulty in analyse this one. Its psychdelic or it is folk? In Brazil this album by Zeca Ramalho & Lula Cortês is called Psychdelic Folk. So... there. I'll let you guys decide, because for me, both are equally representative.

Paebiru is a landmark for the psychdelic folk of the northeastern region in Brazil. Since we had from the early seventies, Ave Sangria, Alceu Valença, Lula Cortes, Lailson (this last two made the Satwa together), Geraldo Azevedo and Zé da Flauta all working in different projects and respective solo carries, in Paebiru we have ALL THIS ARTISTS WORKING TOGETHER.

The album was released in 1975, but since the original tapes were lost in a flood, and several copies of the original also, this is one of the rarest records to find in Brazil, with a good copy worthing more than a thousand Reais (our currency). Aside from this curiosity, Paebiru is actually a nature and dvine concept album, since the idea came from the Ingá Stone in Brazil and its indigenous spirits - as a consequence the double LP has its four sides in thematic (Earth, Wind, Water and Fire) and the instruments chosed to play in each side corresponds the elements. I'll look for the complete data of the record, the artists, who played what and will provide the bio from the album (as always), if accepted.

The youtube video with the complete record are above. You can read the AllMusic review here and the Wikipedia english page here.


PS: Please, do consideer that I have putted in appreciation the groups El Efecto and Pão com Manteiga and the album Tropicália ou Panes et Circenses; also, the page Satwa still has to be changed to Lula Côrtes & Lailson, as, for example, AllMusic has made.

I guess thats it. Enjoy the music and cheers!

A big thanks to Gustavo for remembering me and also my support to add "Paebiru" to the Archives.

Actually IMHO this album should be here since the beginning and I recognize that it was my fault for not suggesting it before.

Guys, I know you did not ignore the suggestions, but at least post here some "ok"... silence made me nervous.

Ok... so please, Folk Team, get this one... because I do not believe its ecletic.

I'm in China this week with terrible internet access but I posted this link to the Prog Folk team thread to get it some attention.  If I can find a decent enough connection somewhere to connect to VPN so I can get to youTube I'll have a listen myself.

This is absolutely stunning ...

And indeed, it's got ts place on PA. We"re studying it in PF (it's got my vote anyways), but it's so much more than prog folk... Psych could be just as justified

Gustavo,

GKR wrote: The idea is to add Lula Côrtes and Zé Ramalho, with Paebiru as their only work, correct. I dont think I mentioned adding other albums with other colaborations... We can, as members, add the albums, but not the pages, correct? I'll add the album as soon the page is on. Thanks, Bob.

One problem, Satwa is listed as Indo/Raga.  If you're okay with this solution I can check with whoever is running that group these days to confirm we can switch him to Prog Folk.
