Mauricy Moura - Roteiro Noturno 1964

Mauricy Moura, considered one of the most complete seresteiros (serenaders) of Brazil, left behind several successes in the genre, like "Flor de Maçã" (Denis Brean/O. Guilherme), "Irmã da Saudade" (Portinho/João Pacífico), "Meus Tempos de Criança" (Ataulfo Alves), "Maria da Piedade" (Evaldo Rui), "Mulata," "Paciência (Vou Brigar Com Ela)," "Nunca," "Homenagem" (Lupicínio Rodrigues), and "Mulher" (Jorge Duarte). With the typical big voice of the romantic style, Moura was the first artist to record a Tom Jobim song, "Incerteza" (written with Newton Teixeira), in 1953. Moura was initiated into an artistic career by his mother, an accomplished singer. Still very young, he formed, with his brother Maurício Moura, Gentil da Silva, Edésio Resende, and Jarina Resende, the Conjunto Calunga (later joined by Avelino Thomaz and Rachel Tomaz). Already a professional and the group's soloist, Moura had to obtain a judge's permission for the group's members, all of minor age, to play every night at the Cassino Ilha Porchat, on the Rádio Piratininga, and in other shows around Brazil. After the dissolution of the group, Moura was hired by Rádio Atlântica de Santos. Discovered by Sílvio Caldas, in 1950 he went to São Paulo to be a member of the cast of Rádio Excelsior, where he also worked at that time with Cauby Peixoto and Roberto Luna. Soon switching to Rádio Record, he started to host his own show, for which he was awarded with the Roquette Pinto award as the revelation of the year 1954. Mauricy Mourarecorded just a few records, but everything he did was carefully prepared under his standard of quality, like his participation in Paulo Vanzolini's 1967 LP Onze Sambas e Uma Capoeira.
