Genival Cassiano was one of the architects of Brazilian Soul music, although his work is eclipsed (and rightly so, in my opinion) by his friend Tim Maia. Tim was actually an admirer of Cassiano’s vocal group Os Diagonais and drew inspiration from them for his own sound, and the two soon came to be friends and collaborators. Os Dianonais provided backing vocals for Tim’s records and live shows in the early days. Not only does Tim have a few writing credits here, but he is also singing backup, uncredited, as part of Os Diagonais. (NOTE: I do not have any proof of this, yet, other than my own ears. I have been searching through Nelson Motta’s biography of Tim, “Vale Tudo”, for some evidence, but as yet have found none. While its an entertaining read, it is kind of sloppy in terms of presenting his recorded work, so I don’t consider this a *denial* of his participation). Likewise, Cassiano played guitar on several of Tim’s albums.
But how to consider this album on its own terms? Well, it was his first album under his own name, and is a bit uneven, but it has its transcendent soul moments. Oddly, for the man who is credited as being so adept at creating the vocal harmonies of Os Diagonais, his voice takes a while to grow on me — he lacks the swagger and charisma of his friend, Tim Maia. The first track, the Marcos Valle song Lenda, is to me an odd choice to open the album, as there are a lot of other tracks that grab the attention more. The album picks it up a notch with two collaboration with Maia and by the time it hits “Já”, credited solely to Cassiano, the album has found its pace. The orchestrations on this album stand out — meticulous, full brass and string arrangements in the same style as those on Tim’s records of the same period, all of this goes to distinguish what was truly a ‘movement’ in Brazilian music, and a rogue one at that, going against the grain of what the critics of the time thought was worthy of praise. Other exemplary stand-out tracks here are “Eu, meu filho, e você”, “Canção dos hippies,” and “Não fique triste.” I should also point out the prominent use of vibraphone on this record — another thing in common with Tim’s records, alas – that is a particular delight to me.
A historic and somewhat-rare album of the Brazilian Soul scene, I hope you enjoy this!

Obrigado !
Thank you very much for this, ever since I heard the song, "Onda" I have fell in love with this man's beautiful music.
Ohh dios! Gracias por esta belleza! Hace algunos años encargue este disco y algunos otros a un amigo q' fue a Brasil y entre los q' consiguio solo estaba el "Cuban Soul 18 Kilates" en esta misma serie remasterizada, el cual me sorprendio gratamente y es uno de mis favoritos y ahora por primera vez lo encuentro en "FLAC" aqui! Soul, Samba, Funk y Folk brasileño de la mejor manufactura y exquisitez!
Saludos y a disfrutar!!

Flabbergast, okay )
Anyway, thank U a thousand times for all your rips )
Sir Mojo
I really like a few tracks from Cuban Soul 18 Kilates and I'd like to discover this album by Cassiano. But it seems there's no 320 link…
Thanks…
Dr. Funkathus, just have to look a little closer.. It is above the photo, for some reason unbeknownst to me as to how it got there!
