This album is the entire Borges Family, Lô, Solange, his brothers and parents, along with guest apperances of Elis Regina and Milton Nascimento. There are a few really great tracks on here. http://loronix.blogspot.com/search?q=os+borges&submit.x=0&submit.y=0

And this is Solange Borges’ nearly impossible to find LP “Bom Dia Universo” from 1984 (I think) ripped from vinyl. This is excellent, pass it on. http://rapidshare.com/files/267110501/Solange_Borges.rar.html

here’s his second solo offering, just as good if not better. http://rapidshare.com/files/130304213/UQT1979_Lo_Borges_-_A_Via_Lactea.rar There are a couple duets with his sister, Solange Borges that are fantastic. She has a couple of very hard to find albums herself. I’m working on links.

Oh, yeah, Jorge Ben. I’ve been really into A Tabua de Esmeralda lately (I think that’s from ’74). And thanks for the heads up, Claudio. That Duos album sounds great.

As a brazilian, I am always glad (and kind of amazed) to see someone talking about Lo Borges which is not as famous as Caetano, Mutantes or Gil. The commnet on “Clube da Esquina” was very good. If anyone liked those Lo Borges songs, than Clube da Esquina is just the right album for you. Look for an instrumental song called “Clube da Esquina 2″, “Cais” and “Um girassol da cor dos seus cabelos”. It is such an inspired album. If I have to recomend anything else, I would suggest Lenny`s lattest album called “DUOS” (he was the guitar man of many Tropicalia songs). It provides a lot of good songs, specially Rodrigo Amarante’s (from los hermanos and little joy) “evaporar”. Regards, Claudio

This is a great album. it’s unfortunate Lo made so few solo records. You mentioned some great artists (ie Caetano, Gilberto) but you omitted another Brazilian heavyweight, Jorge Ben. His Ben (1972) album is one of favorites of all time.

Beautiful beautiful stuff here. Thanks for posting. Would work perfectly in a mellow set with with Tony Allen “Black Voices” and some Os Mutantes of Dr. John…Bummer that the CD is so rare and costs so much online!

If you haven’t, you should find Milton Nascimiento and Lo Borges’ album “Clube Da Esquina”. Wonderful stuff in the same vein from the same year.

How have I lived as long as I have without ever hearing this? Sweet Jesus. Must. Own.
