Severino Araujo e Sua Orquestra Tabajara - 12 Chorinhos de Severino Araujo (1960)

Let's start great today, showing a unique album sent by Caetano Rodrigues and a longtime request from several Loronixers. Maestro Severino Araujo and Orquestra Tabajara made their rendition to the choro genre delivering a blend of choro with big band, on a really delightful set. Let's check.

This is Severino Araujo e Sua Orquestra Tabajara - 12 Chorinhos de Severino Araujo (1960), for Continental. I was making some research on choro and now I understand something very important, the term "Chorinho" is not well received by Choro fans, thay say chorinho is something different, the choro genre with lyrics. This album does not have lyrics; it is pure instrumental music with Maestro Severino Araujo and his orchestra at their peak. Caetano asks Loronixers to pay special attention to the tracks that he likes most, Mirando-te and Um Chorinho pra Voce. Truly beautiful indeed. Thanks once again Caetano for an album that I never heard such like before. Tracks include:

01 - Um Chorinho Pra Você (Severino Araújo)
02 - Um Chorinho na Aldeia (Severino Araújo)
03 - Um Chorinho Em Montevideo (Severino Araújo)
04 - Puladinho (Severino Araújo)
05 - Oh Clarinete Gostoso (Severino Araújo)
06 - Um Chorinho Em Pinhal (Severino Araújo)
