Flaviola E O Bando do Sol - Do Amigo by Mr Bongo published on 2011-08-15T11:45:12Z http://www.mrbongo.com/product/flaviola-e-o-bando-do-sol-cd-1161 http://www.mrbongo.com/product/flaviola-e-o-bando-do-sol-vinyl-lp-1272 Sadly, Flavio Lira (aka Flaviola) only recorded one album, which was released on Lula Côrtes' 'Solar' (Rozenblit) imprint. Even now the album sounds astonishingly fresh; full of native acoustic Brazilian instruments, folk guitars… he even crinkled cellophane into the microphone to get a uniquely trippy effect. It is a contemporary sounding album that features the likes of Zé De Flauta, Lula Côrtes and Robertinho de Recife. He now resides in Rio de Janeiro where he composes music for theatre and films. Available on 180g vinyl LP, CD and download
