Sifting through great Brazilian records from yesteryear I came across a stunning 15-track album by Lô Borges. My list of favorite Brazilian artists is growing at a steady rate, and Lô Borges, like the likes of Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and Gal Costa, never lets me down. Although it’s from 1972, the self-titled LP sounds like it could be fresh off the press, but I suppose the steadfast classiness should have been a tip-off that it’s almost forty years old. Oddly enough, I was first introduced to Lô Borges quite anachronistically by Phoenix with their Kitsune Tabloid release last year. [...]

UPDATE: o twitter do festival confirmou! E vai ser show especial do "Clube da Esquina". CHOREI. O Paulo Floro retwittou e eu confesso que tremi na base quando li. Parece que o tal "show surpresa" do No Ar Coquetel Molotov desse ano é "só" o reencontro de Lô Borges e Milton Nascimento no palco, coisa que nos últimos tempos só aconteceu numa curta temporada em abril no SESC Pinheiros em São [...]
After two weeks of near impenetrable June Gloom, here in Los Angeles, the sun has again decided to grace us with it's presence. With it, Lô Borges' 1972 self-titled album sounds that much better. I'm a strong proponent of situational listening; I believe in both the late-night album and Sunday morning background music. I think [...]
when brazilians milton nascimento came together with lô borges and the rest of the clube da esquina (the corner club) to record this self titled masterpiece, a piece of music history was being made, perhaps all the more significant and bittersweet as it marked the start of the falling apart of a band of immensely talented musicians who were never to make music as free, moving and inspiring ever again. the album, named after the collective, is a melting pot of ideas and genres, held together by little else but the sheer chemistry within the group. the centerpiece, as it [...]
