A short time ago I received her Best of kind compilation of hits from Mario Santos a friend from Portugal.

01. Os Amantes
02. Um Jeito Estúpido de Amar
03. Horóscopo
04. Quem é Homem Não Chora
05. Serenata Negra
06. Samba Magoado

Orlando Ferri e Orquestra - Baile das Debutantes (1959)

Chantecler CMG 2025

There is not much more I can say about Maestro Orlando Ferri  than what I read on the back cover which, despite the long text written by the art director Diego Mulero, says almost nothing about him or the instrumentalists and voices that are part of his orchestra, but simply describes him as very popular and states the obvious fact: His music is purely para dancar. Additional information found on Memoria Musical is that this LP appeares to be his only career album beside a 78 rpm released in 1953.

Enjoy Orlando Ferri performing this repertoire:

01. Back Beat Boogie (Harry James / Jack Matthiaz)
02. Delilah Jones (Elmer Bernstein / Sylvia Fine)
03. Nicolasa (Ernesto R. Duarte Brito)
04. Piove (Domenico Modugno / Verde)
05. Carteiro (Roberto Ferri / Waldir Cardoso)
06. Toi Le Venin (A. Gosselain / D. Hortis)
07. Petite Fleur (Sidney Bechet)
08. Arroz Com Palito (Adolfo Soto / J. Buonsanti)
09. Caravan (Duke Ellington / Irving Mills / Juan Tizol)
10. I Love Paris (Cole Porter)
11. Donde Estará Mi Vida (Antônio Lopes / Quiroga Segovia / Francisco Naranjo Caldera / Ignacio Roman Jimenez)
12. Boite (Élcio Álvarez / Antônio Bruno)
13. Your Lips Are Champagne (R. Stolz)
14. Balada do Ouro Negro  (Blowing Wild) (Paul Francis Webster / Dimitri Tiomkin)

Jorge Goulart, Emilinha Borba e Gilberto Milfont - Sucessos de Carnaval (Carnaval Antigo) (1954)

Continental LPP 05

Now, something quite different: Another copyright problem presents itself with this Carnaval Antigo from 1954 by renowned artists Emilinha Borba, Gilberto Milfont and Jorge Goulart.
The side A has been included on the disc A Rádio Nacional e Seus Ídolos de Auditório (1977 Continental 1.19.405.032)
Needless to stress the fact that because of it, half of this recording is copyrighted (side A), while the other half (side B) is not.

So, this half-gift includes only the side B. Sorry, but there it is.

    Abre A Janela (Arlindo Marques Júnior / Roberto Roberti)
    O Orvalho Vem Caindo (Noel Rosa / Kid Pepe)

Nonato - O Som e O Balanco de Nonato (1975)

Som/Copacabana SOLP 40670

Here is the complete, previously two times by Depositfiles' checker rejected album by Nonato.
Well, it is quite a mystery: This time I uploaded the individual tracks to identify thus the eventual Polar Bear or several of such.
But, all files, uploaded two days ago, are still intact and stored on server. How it is possible, I don't know, but the only way to present this album to you is the tremendously popular file by file download method. To circumvent the long waiting times between downloads, it is usually enough to switch of your modem and switch it on after that. This changes, in most cases, your IP address.

Enjoy the individual downloads and enjoy after that pleasure these tracks:

01. Cafuá (Júnior / Oberdan Oliveira)
02. Tambor de Crioula (Júnior / Oberdan Oliveira)
03. Chic-samba (Dam)
04. Do Terreiro (Dam / Pitomba)
05. Futuca-cutuca (Pitomba / Dam)
06. Na Ponta da Língua (Júnior / Ronald)
07. A Pamonha do José (Júnior / Carlos Gomes)
08. Chegadinho (Pitomba / Dam)
09. Janela (Pitomba / Dam)
10. O Gênio (José Américo)
11. I Love You (Dam)
12. Morada (Dam)

EDIT by Milan Filipović:

A short time after publishing this post, when the track by track downloading started, the Polar Bear got finally identified:

It is track 1 Cafuá which was probably included in a compilation CD...


So, here is the zip with all files except for track 1:

Nonato e Seu Conjunto (1974)

Som/Copacabana SOLP 40518

Piano player Nonato has (with his conjunto, of course) a premiere on Parallel Realities.

This is his first career album out of (as far as I know) altogether four.

The second one, from 1975 was sent to me some time ago by Pedro & 300discos but for some mysterious reason it got rejected two times by Depositfiles's checker. 
I am using this opportunity to check why exactly that happened and, while I am writing this text, each individual track is analysed for digital fingerprints. If the polar bear tracks get identified this way, I post this LP but will not include the polar bears in the package.

This album, fortunately complete, sounds quite international and reminds of the music generally played in Europe during that particular period but it has a distinctive Brazilian note.

And a special curiosity (from my point of view) is that one of the musicians from the front cover picture completely bears a striking resemblance to someone I know very well.

Who exactly it might be from this list I do not know, but here it is:

Nonato (Piano)
Pitomba (Baixo)
Oberdan (Guitarra)
José (Vibrafone)
Walter (Crooner)
Chico do Zuca (Sax tenor)
Vavá (Piston)
Garrincha (Bateria)
Piu-Piu (Guitarra base)

The songs:

01. Bisavô (Cleto Júnior / Oberdan Oliveira)
02. Fitipaldiando (Oberdan Oliveira)
03. Cavala-canga (Sérgio Habibe)
04. Sou Feliz (Oberdan Oliveira)
05. Não Precisa Mais Promessa (Oberdan Oliveira)
06. Jogado Fora (Cleto Júnior)
07. Caçoeira (Oberdan Oliveira / Cleto Júnior)
08. Senhora Ana (Oberdan Oliveira / Sebastião Carvalho)
09. Beco Escuro (Oberdan Oliveira)
10. Ana Paula (Oberdan Oliveira)
11. Viola e Violeta (Sérgio Habibe)
12. Menino Travesso (Antônio Vieira)

Rádio 0070-GV

Onéssimo Gomes' premiere on Parallel Realities comes with the third volume of the Serestas do Brasil.
His discography is quite large, especially when it comes to 78 rpms which he started recording back in 1941.
His career albums count (as far as I could find out) only six, the last being released in 1963.

Enjoy a beautiful voice singing these beautiful compositions:

01. Violão (Vitório Júnior / Wilson Ferreira)
02. Deusa Da Minha Rua (Newton Teixeira / Jorge Faraj)
03. Meu Companheiro (Francisco Alves / Orestes Barbosa)
04. Professora (Benedito Lacerda / Jorge Faraj)

Uccio Gaeta - O Novo Som de Uccio Gaeta (1968)

Chantecler CMG 2500

The first impression when stumbling upon Uccio Gaeta while unpacking the package from Pedro & 300discos was that it is an album by a gaeta player unknown to me whose real first name is Uccio.
Of course, I was proved wrong. Uccio Gaeta is a multiinstrumentalist whose origin, according to his name, I would place somewhere in Italy, probably Sicily where, according to his name, might also be the birthplace of Mario Albanese, as Sicily was largely inhabited by Albanian folks.
Also, Mario Albanese is prominently featured, together with Uccio, as composer on this album.
More about Uccio, together with a list of instruments he played, you may read on the back cover in a tightly packed text by Armando Blundi Bastos.

The medleys performed are listed here and you may enjoy them after clicking upon the usually cryptic text under the list:

01. No Balanço do Jequibau (Mário Albanese / Ciro Pereira)
      Jequibau (Mário Albanese / Ciro Pereira)
      Gamboa (Ciro Pereira / Mário Albanese)

02. Viola Enluarada (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sérgio Valle)
      Um Amor Sem Igual (Mário Albanese / Ciro Pereira)

03. Bom Tempo (Chico Buarque)
      Até Segunda-Feira (Chico Buarque)
      Lapinha (Baden Powell / Paulo César Pinheiro)

04. Esta Tarde Vi Llover (Armando Manzanero)
      Habla Me (Armando Manzanero)

05. Januária (Chico Buarque)
      Areia e Mar (Mário Albanese / Uccio Gaetta)
      Serenata Em Teleco-Teco (Gilberto Gil)

06. A Flor Que o Tempo Guardou (Mário Albanese / Uccio Gaetta)
      Tristeza de Amor (Mário Albanese / Uccio Gaetta)

07. Inno (John Carter / Ken Lewis / Mogol)
      L'Ultima Cosa (Luciano Beretta / Umberto Balsamo)
      Você Não Serve Pra Mim (Renato Barros)

08. Melancolia (Denis Brean)
      Além da Imaginação (José Paulo Pires / Arnaldo C. Franco)
      Você (Mário Albanese / Heitor Carillo)

09. La Tramontana (Daniele Pace / Mario Panzeri)
      Madame X (Uccio Gaetta / Mário Albanese)
      Samba Chá-chá-chá (Mário Albanese)

10. Vesti Azul (Nonato Buzar)
      Malayisha (Miriam Makeba / Jerry Ragovoy)
      Tubon (Uccio Gaetta / Mário Albanese)
