Ivon Cury

BPL-3003 Ivon Cury

BPL-3011 - O rei decreta o sucesso - 1956 was Ivon Cury's best year ever. He had at least 3 Number Ones in the Brazilian charts: 'Falam tanto de mim' was #1 on 25 June 1955, 'Xóte miudinho' (Forró de Quelemente) reached #1 a month later on 23 July 1955, and finally 'Farinhada' went to #1 on 24 September 1955.

'Falam tanto de mim' (They talk about me) was an answer Ivon Cury wrote to those who spread innuendos about his private life. Brazilian machismo would not tolerate a man who would not brag about his sexual prowess. Ivon, being a gentleman in the British sense, had always been a victm of gossip and slander.

BPL-15 'Eu canto assim'.

BPL-3044 'Tournée musical'.

BPL-8 'Eu em Portugal'.

Caterina Valente

Caterina Valente's first 10" album released in Brazil in late 1955. Miss Valente had hit the Brazilian charts with 'Malagueña', sung in Spanish in July 1955. Caterina folowed it up with 'The breeze and I' (Andalucia) sung in English a few weeks later.
