Alceu Valença es uno de esos artistas que son indentificados pronto como la marca de una región (en este caso de Pernambuco, en la parte noreste del gran coloso), surgió en un momento donde aparecían grandes talentos de la música brasilera pero que necesitaba de una renovación, y Alceo, junto con algunos más, vinieron a llenar ese vacío desplegando un rock psicodélico pero al mismo tiempo bien brazuca, música que no podría hacer salido de otro lugar en el mundo.
Según lo que sé, que no es mucho, éste es su segundo LP, y el primero completamente en solitario, desplegando un estilo que hizo escuela en los años '70 esa región de Brasil.
Interesantes solos de flauta y guitarra craviola fueron constantes en su música, tanto como los versículos que enmarcan y describen su noreste brasilero natal, tanto que, según leí, algunas de estas canciones se mantuvieron vivas en esa zona, vigentes hasta hoy en día a pesar el tiempo.
Convengamos que descubrí este álbum investigando un poco sobre música brasilera, y que en realidad no es enterante progresivo, a decir verdad tampoco es enteramente de mi agrado, pero este espacio de a poco se va convirtiendo en un catálogo de objetos de culto de la música latinoamericana, y por ello prefiero que esto esté aquí, y que lo pueda disfrutar el que así lo desee.
Aquí un registrop de época:
Alceu Valença was born in São Bento do Una, Pernambuco, Northeast Brazil. When he was young, he used to listen songs by Dalva de Oliveira, Orlando Silva, Sílvio Caldas etc. When he was 5 years old, he participated in a music contest, singing a song by Capiba. Some years later, his mother got sick and his family moved to Recife to live in his aunt's house. In this period, Valença got interested in some musical instruments, such as acoustic guitar and viola. However, he only won his own guitar when he was 15.Wikipedia
In 1970, Valença earned his degree in Law. However, he only pursued the career for a matter of months. In fact, in the early 1970s, the reason he had no time for a law career was that he had already launched into a musical direction.[2]
He started his musical career in 1968, with the group Underground Tamarineira Village, later known as Ave Sangria. He also played with Zé Ramalho and Elba Ramalho during this period. In 1972, he joined Geraldo Azevedo. Together, they participated of many festivals and, in that same years, recorded their first album: Alceu Valença & Geraldo Azevedo, also known as Quadrafônico.
Along his career, Valença recorded more than 20 albums and travelled around many countries, such as Portugal, France and United States. Actually, he is considered one of the greatest exponents of the music of Pernambuco.
This is the second release by Alceu Valencia, his first solo venture. He had yet to achieve any commercial success as an artist.Check out the bio i posted below for more details on this truly magical Brazilian Artist...Swan Copulation
Alceu Valença is an extremely successful composer and the owner of a distinctive style that mixes his northeastern roots and contemporary grooves; he is also an energetic and mesmerizing live performer. His songs have been recorded by several major artists, including Luiz Gonzaga (with whom he wrote "Plano Piloto"), Maria Betânia, and Elba Ramalho. His life was depicted in Anamelia Maciel's book Alceu Valença em Frente e Verso (Edição do Autor, recife, 1988).
The son of a locally renowned lawyer, Valença always worried his father with his rebellious character. At four, he participated in an infant concourse promoted by the postman Luís Jacinto, singing a Capiba tune. He didn't win the competition or the prize (a soap box), but his acrobatic performance during the prize delivery won the sympathy of the audience and he won another soap box. Moving with his family to Recife PE, Valença was always a bad student, and was even expelled from school, until he finally graduated from law school in 1970, but he never worked in that profession. There, he began his first professional musical experiences with the band Tamarineira Village, after transforming into Ave Sangria. He later incorporated new musicians into his band who were highly successful artists: Zé Ramalho (who played the Brazilian viola) and Elba Ramalho (as chorus girl). In 1968, Valença did his first show, Erosão: a Cor e o Show, to enthusiastic critical praise. In September, he participated in the I Festival Universitário Brasileiro de Música Popular (Rio) with "Maria Alice" (written with Sérgio Bahia), defended by Ivete e Arlete. The next month, he concurred in the I Festival Regional Universitário da MPB (Recife). In the next year, he classified two songs at the regional phase of the IV Festival Internacional da Canção: "Acalanto Para Isabela" (first place) and "Desafio Linda" (third place). At the national phase in Rio, he unsuccessfully defended the first song. With a scholarship from Harvard University (Boston), he knew some of the U.S. and reconciled himself to the indigenous culture of his home state, perceiving its universalizing possibilities through the interest displayed by passersby while he played on streets and squares.
Returning to Brazil in 1970, Valença married Eneida in June and worked together at the III Festival Universitário de Música Popular Brasileira, receiving second place with "Manhã de Clorofila." He returned the trophy to the jury (under applause), declaring (euphemistically) that the jury already had its decision, regardless of the manifest desire of the audiences. It led him to decide to move to Rio with his wife, son, and a recommendation letter from José Humberto Patu. There he met Geraldo Azevedo, another pernambucano (from the Pernambuco state) who had abandoned music and was working with industrial design. Valença convinced him to return to music and they both wrote a song. Valença participated in July at the V Festival Internacional da Canção (Rio) with the songs "Fiat Lux Baby," "Erosão," and "Desafio Linda"; and at the IV Festival Universitário da Música Brasileira (August 1971, Teatro João Caetano), Valença participated with "Água Clara," "78 Rotações" (with Geraldo Azevedo), and "Planetário." Also with Azevedo's songs (which competed against Valença's at the festivals), they recorded together their first LP Alceu Valença & Geraldo Azevedo (Copacabana, 1972). In 1972, Valença asked the great Jackson do Pandeiro to defend his "Papagaio do Futuro" at the VII Festival Internacional da Canção (September, Rio). The song wasn't classified, but was presented with success in several shows by Valença and Azevedo throughout the country, and opened the doors for a friendship with Pandeiro that resulted in live performances by the duo at the Teatro João Caetano's (Rio), Projeto Seis e Meia (1975), and in the national tour of the Projeto Pixinguinha series (1977). Still in 1972, Valença became disappointed with the result of the FIC and returned to Recife with the decision to abandon music. In January 1974, he opened the show O Ovo e a Galinha (Nosso Teatro, Recife), touring several upstate Northeastern cities. In that same year, participated in Sérgio Ricardo's film A Noite do Espantalho as the main character, and recorded its soundtrack (released on LP by Continental in 1974) as singer. He also released his first solo album, Molhado de Suor (Som Livre). The album didn't get major interest from the audiences, but was well-received by critics. In February 1975, he got a big hit with "Vou Danado pra Catende," inspired in the verses by modernist Pernambucan poet Ascenso Ferreira at the Festival Abertura (Rede Globo). The support from the audience led the jury to create a special "Research" prize. It made possible the show Vou Danado pra Catende (Teatro Teresa Rachel, Rio, 1975), which was a complete failure in the first three days until Valença got dressed as a clown and swept through downtown Rio with a megaphone, promoting the show. It then became a full-house success at the theater and in all subsequent national tours. In the next year, he recorded Vivo, a rock album, and in 1977, Espelho Cristalino. In 1979, he recorded Saudade de Pernambuco, and in the same year, began to record frevos on the LP series Asas da América (compilations with several interpreters). The series and the subsequent dedicated shows by Valença, in parallel with his solo career, turned Olinda's Carnival a national success. During a tour in 1979, he recorded an album in Paris, France, that is still unreleased in Brazil.
In 1980, he released Coração Bobo, which had the hit "Na Primeira Manhã," and in the next year, Cinco Sentidos. In 1982, he recorded Cavalo de Pau with the hits "Tropicana" and "Como Dois Animais." In 1983, he released Anjo Avesso with "Anunciação," and from the live show recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival (Switzerland), Brazil Night -- Ao Vivo em Montreux was released. In 1984, he recorded Mágico, which had the hit "Solidão," and in the next year, Estação da Luz.
At that point, with his career established, several of his songs became soap opera themes (the fastest way of reaching high selling records in Brazil). In 1986, he recorded the live album Ao Vivo, and in the same year, Rubi. In 1987, he recorded Leque Moleque, and in the following years, Oropa, França e Bahia (1988), Andar, Andar (1990), and Sete Desejos (1991), which had the hit "Tesoura do Desejo." In that year, he participated in the megafestival Rock in Rio 2. In 1994, he recorded Maracatus Batuques e Ladeiras featuring the track "Pétalas" (with Herbert Azul), which received the Sharp prize for the Best Song of the Year. Together with Geraldo Azevedo, Elba Ramalho, and Zé Ramalho, he recorded the 1996 live album O Grande Encontro and the solo CD Mourisco. In 1997, he released Sol e Chuva and, in 1998, Forró de Todos os Tempos. Sino de Ouro followed in early 2001.
Y los siguientes comentarios es para que practiquen un poco el portugués, les va a venir bien en sus vacaciones por las playas del Brasil:
Hau artistas que demoram a estabelecer sintonia com o publico. Para Alceu Valencia, por exemplo, o sucesso no veio rapido. Quando o coco Corazao Bobo projetou seu nome e sua obra, em 1980, o compositor pernambucano jo contabilizava oito anos de carreira - iniciada de forma individual em 1974 com este interessante Molhado de Suor, disco ora reeditado na sirie Som Livre Masters, produzida pelo tito Charles Gavin com a primorosa remasterizao de 25 titulos garimpados nos bas das gravadoras Som Livre, Som Maior e RGE.Mauro Ferreira
Alceu Valenca estreou em disco em 1972, com LP dividido com Geraldo Azevedo. Molhado de Suor foi seu primeiro trabalho solo e jtrazia a mistura efervescente de ritmos nordestinos com linguagem pop. Era algo novo na epoca e o disco acabaria passando despercebido pelo publico. Alceu ainda gravaria outros albuns na Som Livre - como Vivo! (1976, um dos mais vigorosos registros de shows editados no Brasil) e Espelho Cristalino (album de 1977, ja relanado em CD em 1994) - antes de se exilar na Franca e, na volta ao Brasil, ganhar enfim a merecida projeto com o LP Corazao Bobo.
Por isso mesmo, seu primeiro disco solo merece segunda chance. I coeso, magistralmente arranjado e traz musicas como Papagaio do Futuro (ainda recorrente nos shows do cantor) e Punhal de Prata. O repertorio tambem destaca Dia Branco, que, apesar do titulo homonimo, nao se trata da cancio de Geraldo Azevedo que faria sucesso a partir dos anos 80, mas de tema autoral do proprio Alceu Valenca.
Alceu Valença, com seus pés descalços e cabelos compridos, fez da irreverência o trunfo de sua carreira. Hoje é conhecido por misturar os ritmos nordestinos — como baião, frevo, xaxado e maracatu — ao rock, fado ou sons orientais. Eis aqui o primeiro disco do cantor e compositor pernambucano já mostra seu espírito criativo. Vários clássicos do músico em ótimas versões nesse disco, sacai...Hominis Canidae
No voy a agregar mucha cosa más, porque además desconozco gran parte de la historia de esta música, y la verdad no tengo ahora tiempo de ponerme a investigar mucho, Simplemente, acá hay videos para que veas si esta música es para vos. Y de verdad que esto que hay acá es bien raro.
