Baden Powell – Um Violão Na Madrugada

An essential recording in Baden Powell’s discography, this album, originally released in 1961, showcases the remarkable sensitivity and virtuosity of one of Brazil’s most important guitarists and composers.

Blending bossa nova, samba and Brazilian jazz, Powell explores the possibilities of the acoustic guitar with distinctive elegance, combining Brazilian popular music with classical techniques and a strong rhythmic foundation. Highlights include “Fluido de Saudade”, “Insônia”, “Improviso em Bossa Nova” and “Samba Triste”, which reveal the melodic richness and expressive character of his playing. This limited edition features the complete original album alongside four bonus tracks, including a version of “Consolação” recorded with American flautist Herbie Mann, and is pressed on 180-gram virgin vinyl.
