Review by Alejandro Álvarez

Casinha Da Colina Conto D'Amor by Dr. Antonio Menano – A Folk Treasure from 1928 Alright, let’s talk about Casinha Da Colina Conto D’Amor, an album that feels like stepping into a time machine set to 1928. This little gem comes from Germany (yep, Germany!) but don’t expect oompah bands or polka vibes here. Nope, this is pure Folk, World, and Country goodness courtesy of Dr. Antonio Menano—a name that sounds more like a scientist than a musician, right? The record was released on Odeon, which back then was one of those labels cranking out music before most of us were even born. Now, the album has two standout tracks: “Casinha Da Colina” and “Conto D’Amor.” Let me tell ya, these songs are like warm hugs for your ears. They’re simple yet so full of heart, it’s hard not to get lost in them. Take “Casinha Da Colina,” for example. It’s got this lilting melody that kinda dances around you, almost like it’s telling a story without words. You can practically picture a cozy cottage sitting on top of a hill, with flowers blooming all around. I swear, every time I hear it, I wanna grab a cup of tea and sit by a window somewhere peaceful. It’s just… nice, you know? Like comfort food for your soul. Then there’s “Conto D’Amor,” which translates to “Love Story” if my rusty Portuguese serves me well. This track hits different—it’s softer, slower, and feels like someone whispering secrets into the night. There’s a rawness to it, like it wasn’t made to impress anyone but just to exist, honest and true. It sticks with you because it doesn’t try too hard. Sometimes simplicity speaks louder than anything flashy ever could. What makes this album special isn’t just the tunes themselves; it’s how they transport you. Listening to this record feels like flipping through an old photo album filled with sepia-toned memories. Sure, it might feel a bit dated compared to today’s polished productions, but that’s exactly why it works. It’s real. Imperfectly perfect. Here’s the kicker though—how wild is it that this Brazilian-inspired folk music came out of Germany nearly a century ago? Back then, borders weren’t as blurred as they are now, so hearing something like this must’ve been mind-blowing. Makes you wonder what other hidden treasures are out there waiting to be rediscovered. So yeah, give Casinha Da Colina Conto D’Amor a spin if you love music that tells stories without needing fancy effects or auto-tune. Just don’t blame me if you end up daydreaming about cottages and love letters written by candlelight. Oh, and hey—if anyone knows where I can find sheet music for these tracks, hmu. My ukulele needs a new challenge!

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: Back in 1928, a folk album called *Casinha Da Colina Conto D'Amor* by Dr. Antonio Menano came out in Germany. It was released on the Odeon label. This was during a time when music was still mostly enjoyed on vinyl records. The album features two tracks, including one named *Casinha Da Colina*. It’s wild to think about how this piece of music has been around for nearly a century!
