José Mauro was a singer, songwriter, and guitarist from Rio de Janeiro who recorded all of his music in a single session in 1970. That resulted in his debut album "Obnoxius", under Roberto Quartin's record label, and a second album, "A Viagem das Horas", released six years later, with the leftover songs. "Rua Dois" is from this second LP, reissued in 2021 by Far Out Recordings, a beautiful folk, jazzy, psychedelic journey that sounds as much like a tropical version of Serge Gainsbourg as it does a foggy Gerlando Vandré.
A prodigy guitar student of Baden Powell, and doted on for an anti-bossa approach, in this episode we'll talk about José Mauro's enigmatic career, why he disappeared, and when he was rediscovered, his collaboration with writer/journalist Ana Maria Bahia, who wrote all of his lyrics.
