Ciro Monteiro - De Vinicius E Baden Especialmente Para Ciro Monteiro

Review by sharna sammy

Album Review: De Vinicius E Baden Especialmente Para Ciro Monteiro Alright, let’s talk about this gem of an album—De Vinicius E Baden Especialmente Para Ciro Monteiro. Released in 1965, it’s one of those records that feels like stepping into a warm, dimly lit bar somewhere between Rio and Paris. You know the kind—the air is thick with cigarette smoke (sorry, health nuts), laughter spills over from crowded tables, and the music wraps around you like a hug you didn’t know you needed. The genres here are all over the place but somehow fit perfectly together: Folk, World, Country, Latin—it’s a melting pot of vibes. And when you drill down to the styles? Bossa nova, samba, MPB—oh man, it’s like they took Brazil’s musical soul, bottled it up, and poured it straight into your ears. This thing was released on some big-name labels too—Elenco, EmArcy, Universal Music—and honestly, every single credit on this project deserves a shoutout. Aloysio De Oliveira as producer? Genius move. Carlos Freitas and Jade Pereira remastering it? Chef’s kiss. Now, onto the tracks. There are ten songs total, each more evocative than the last, but two really stuck with me: "Amei Tanto" and "O Astronauta". Let me tell ya why. "Amei Tanto" kicks things off, and holy moly, does it set the tone. Written by Vinicius de Moraes and Baden Powell, it's got this slow-burn melancholy that sneaks up on you. It’s not sad-sad, though—you know what I mean? Like, bittersweet. The guitar work by Baden Powell is just…chef’s kiss again (I’m running out of ways to describe perfection). By the time Ciro Monteiro’s voice comes in, smooth as aged whiskey, you’re already hooked. Lyrically, it’s poetic without being pretentious, which is kinda Vinicius’s whole deal. He had a way of making heartbreak sound classy. Then there’s "O Astronauta", which flips the mood entirely. If "Amei Tanto" is introspective and moody, this track is playful and weirdly cosmic for its time. I mean, astronauts weren’t exactly mainstream back then, right? But somehow, they pull it off. The rhythm has this quirky bounce to it—it’s almost impossible not to tap your foot or nod along. It’s also where Monteiro shines vocally; his delivery feels effortless yet deeply intentional. You can tell he’s having fun, and that energy transfers directly to the listener. What makes this album stand out isn’t just the individual brilliance of the tracks but how cohesive everything feels. Every song bleeds into the next, creating this seamless experience. Even the liner notes by Aloysio De Oliveira feel personal, like he’s sharing a secret with you. And Eddie Moyna’s cover design? Simple yet striking—a perfect visual representation of the vibe inside. Reflecting on De Vinicius E Baden Especialmente Para Ciro Monteiro, it strikes me how timeless it feels. Sure, it came out in ’65, but listening to it today, it doesn’t feel dated at all. Maybe that’s because good music never really ages—or maybe it’s because we still haven’t figured out how to bottle whatever magic these guys were working with. Either way, if you haven’t heard this album yet, do yourself a favor and press play. Just don’t blame me if you end up daydreaming about Brazilian beaches and astronaut adventures. Oh, and hey—don’t forget to pour yourself a drink while you’re at it. Cheers!

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *De Vinicius E Baden Especialmente Para Ciro Monteiro* is like a time capsule of Brazilian music magic from 1965. It blends Bossa Nova, Samba, and MPB, styles that feel like sunshine and soul wrapped together. What’s wild is that it was made as a tribute to Ciro Monteiro, but the tracks were mostly written by two legends—Baden Powell and Vinicius de Moraes. Oh, and fun detail: the cover art was done by Eddie Moyna, adding a visual charm to the whole package. This record traveled far too—it came out not just in Brazil but also in Europe, spreading its musical roots across continents. If you ever hear "Amei Tanto" or "Linda Baiana," you'll get why this album still resonates.
