You know the drill! It’s Free Basin’ Friday! We’re here to hook you up with some fresh wax before you head off into weekend oblivion. In the spirit of all the Bossa Nova in the air around here, this week we’re dishing out a copy of Orlandivo’s self titled 1977 LP, Orlandivo!
Composer, singer and percussionist Orlann Divo moved to Rio de Janeiro in 1946 where he started out as a promising percussionist in the band of Ed Lincoln.
In 1977 he released this self-titled work on Copacobana records. The album mainly remains in the Bossa Nova realm, while at the time of the release the Bossa Nova era was almost at its end. Unfortunately the album gained little notice, but was revived 20 years later by diggers around the world. To many record collectors and Brazilian music lovers around the globe this remains a true classic from the vaults of Brasilian Bossa and downtempo Samba.
Now 25 years after its original release Kindred Spirits presents the official reissue of the 1977 self-titled album Orlandivo. This beautiful bossa / downtempo samba like album contains the sought after tracks such as ‘Onde Anda O Meu Amor’ and ‘Tamanco No Samba’. Apart from Orlandivo, other artists such as João Donato and Azymuth’s drummer Ivan Conti also deliver a solid contribution to the tracks, making this obscure Brasilian classic a must have for Brasilian music lovers!

Brazil, the new LITA frontier!!!
Sounds like a fun LP.. I want that jacket!
I’m an eager beaver
I love freebasin’ on a Friday!
It’s great how laid back and unassuming things were in the 70s. Media today has forced such paranoia. Seriously, there is no way an artist would be able to release an album cover like this today without Chris Hansen showing up at the door. I look forward to hearing the grooves!
Lovin’ the Marcos Valle albums!
Light In The Attic, I’m astounded at the sheer sight of every release I order from you. Hands down the best quality records, best researched, and lowest price compared to…wait..is….is that poop I smell on my nose…!
If there is justice, I will win this classic! Ha!

GORGEOUS!
Sambando! LITA making some beautiful bossa music.

Amazing young talent, who’s the old guy?
Viva Bossa Nova.
My Marcos Valle records are hopefully already on their way to me over the Atlantic. I only have one A. C. Jobim LP so far, so this one would be nice – I could begin a “Tropicalia” section in my record collection. Thank you LITA for seeking out not only great lost records but also excellent record labels. I found Kindred Spirits and Heavenly Sweetness thanks to you.
someday i will win a freebasin’ friday contest and when it happens it, it will be divine!!!
Oh, no! It’s Orlandivo.
His jacket would sell for hundreds at Urban Outfitters.
Love L I T A!!!! Thanks for all u do. A wonderful gem.
Love the label. Pick me.
Nice as always.
