Paulinho Da Viola - Nervos De Aço (1973 Remaster) (2012)

The LP originally released in 1973 was reissued in CD format in the 2 Em 1 series, together with Paulinho da Viola (1978), and now, with the original cover and digitally remastered. In regards to lyrics (which don't rhyme), harmony, melody, and arrangements, the revolutionary "Roendo As Unhas" opened completely new avenues for samba. Known as a composer/interpreter devoted to recalling great forgotten names, he re-recorded Cartola ("Não Quero Mais Amar A Ninguém," which had its lyrics awarded by Academia Brasileira de Letras), Wilson Batista, and Lupicínio Rodrigues. "Choro Negro" became a classic of the choro genre.
