Now that Warner Music has been sold to an investor group headed by Edgar Bronfman, it might be a good time to gather some WEA back-catalog items. Most everyone at this site should have Sergio's magnificent Elektra CD from 1992,'Brasileiro'. Let me urge you to get 'Dori Caymmi', also on Elektra, a 1988 release which Sergio produced and played synths (and with Gracinha on backing vocals).
Dori Caymmi is two years younger than Sergio, and he's a Brasilian heavyweight composer, singer, and guitarist who has resided in Los Angeles since 1989. He's got three other CDs on Warner-Qwest: 'Brasilian Serenata' (1991), 'Kicking Cans' (1993), and 'If Ever' (1994). Of these, I strongly recommend 'Kicking Cans'.
Those inventory bean-counters have no musical taste and they've got itchy fingers when it comes to hitting the 'DELETE' key. As major conglomerates absorb each other, layoff redundant staff, and (ulp!) drop slow-moving product lines -- you might want to get busy and nab these older releases, such as Dori Caymmi's, while they're still in print.
