Music reviews of A Banda Tropicalista Do Duprat
Music Review: Mixed listening
Rating: 3 Stars
For those who never heard of him: Rogério Duprat was a Brazilian composer
who delivered lavishly colorful arrangements in the Tropicalia movement
of late 60's, and continued to support recordings by other Brazilian
icons such as Chico Buarque, Nara Leao, Paulinho Nogueira, besides
the Tropicalia gang (Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, Os Mutantes,
Tom Zé).
This record, however, is a somewhat pale display of what Rogério was capable of,
shown in the records of the ones above. The best tracks are the jocose
arrangements in the Mutantes spirit, like in "The Rain, The Park ...",
"Quem Será", "Canção para Inglês Ver", "Cinderela Rockfella".
The best one in this line is "Chega de Saudade", a Brazilian standard
turned into a hilarious small town brass band piece.
The "Lady Madonna" cover adds nothing special to the original.
The arrangements for rest of the tracks sound dreadfully like Paul Mauriat's.
Compare, for instance, this version of "Baby" with the one by Gal Costa
with arrangements by the same Duprat.
Rogério seems to have always needed a stronger creative talent who
his own talent could serve and support, and this record shows it.
Description of A Banda Tropicalista Do Duprat
First CD issue of 1968 album by the producer and arranger behind Brazil's legendary Os Mutantes, who together with Gilberto Gil and Gal Costa were one of the bands to revolutionize Brazilian music and create Tropicalia - a genre in its own right. Drawing from the Beatles ('Flying', 'Lady Madonna') and other popular hits of yore ('Honey', 'Judy In Disguise') as well as his own compositions, Duprat seamlessly blends pop, easy listening and smooth bossa with spectacular orchestral arrangements and far-out freakouts of the decidedly acid variety, creating one of the most individual sounds of the late Sixties. Mutantes themselves appear on four tracks. El. 2005.General CDs
