Evaldo Gouveia

Son of the rich cattle product owner, Evaldo Gouveia, twelve months after his delivery, regarding his dad, would proceed to Igatu, where he’d shortly figure out how to play the violão (classical guitar) and sing on the “radiadora” (primitive program of speakers dangling in the lampposts), in six years of age. At 11 he was delivered to Fortaleza, the condition capital, with 15 finished his high-school research and began to work. On the Praça perform Ferreira, where in fact the local people collected for hearing music in amusement, Evaldo began to play violão in an organization, within a daily basis. He was urged by an organization member to try the novice’s present at Ceará Rádio Clube. He’d win the competition for 7 consecutive situations. As the decision was created by the general public, he was finally employed with the place, and his achievement provided him the power to impose the repertoire: the music from the duo Jair Amorim-José Maria de Abreu. His 1st structure, from 1949, “Nós dois e o mar,” produced only local achievement. Next yr, he’d form, regarding his tailor Mário Alves and a pal known as Epaminondas, the group which would become popular: Trio Nagô, which journeyed south quickly later on, to represent Ceará inside a paulista (São Paulo’s) radio display. Following, they’d head to Porto Alegre RS, and Rio de Janeiro RJ, where, after per month of very well approved presentations, they made an appearance in the trustworthy Programa César de Alencar. In those instances, the vocal organizations such as for example theirs had been a fever in Brazil: Trio Irakitan, Anjos perform Inferno, Quatro Ases e um Coringa, Trio de Ouro and many others were taking pleasure in great recognition. Their demonstration was therefore well been successful that, by the end of the display, they were currently employed: Vadeco, creative movie director for Rádio Jornal perform Brasil and person in the key Bando da Lua (which acquired followed Carmem Miranda within a tour in america), contracted them for the air, for 90 days. They’d be employed also by Rádio Tupi and Rádio Record, of São Paulo. Followed a period crowned by achievement, in several essential nightclubs of Rio and São Paulo, like Vogue, in Rio, and Oásis, in São Paulo. In 1956 and 1962 they might tour in European countries, and continue steadily to make great achievement, until Mário Alves discovered a collocation in the general public service, what produced the group to disband. Evaldo was composing frequently since 1957, when produced, with Gilberto Ferraz, “Deixe que ela se vá,” converted into a big strike by acclaimed vocalist Nélson Gonçalves. Shortly followed “European union e Deus” (with Pedro Caetano), “A noite e a prece, and “Pior pra você, with Almeida Rego. It had been when somebody implied he was “producing excess amount” along with his music. Only after that he’d find out about copyright. With three photos, in July, 1958, visited UBC (a copyright collector culture) and appeared for the secretary, who was simply a minimum of well-known composer Jair Amorim, with whom he’d create 150 music within the next 10 years. For the reason that extremely time they’d compose jointly “Conversa, which will be documented through Victor by Alaíde Costa in 1959, by Maysa, and by numerous others. Jair Amorim have been desiring a well balanced compositional relationship, as the American versions. Having this id with Evaldo, they quickly started to write popular after another, discovering, within an easy, well-known vein, the styles of dramatic amorous delusions, at that time extremely dear towards the Brazilian imagery. But, behind this formulaic strategy, coexist an enthusiastic spontaneity, nearly improvised, having a rigid Parnasian technique. Besides, because they were just about aware of the marketplace, that they had to depend on their flexibility to have the ability to adhere to the styles of the changing times: when sentimental boleros started to decrease in well-known acceptation, they quickly relocated to samba. Having becoming elevated in the passionate custom of serenades, in serestas, Evaldo wasn’t familiar with ballads; he previously to resort to numerous hours of audition of French and Italian ballads for composing the recently fashionable design; and always shipped competently the mandatory commodity. Being a curious proof such chameleonic virtuosity, they constructed a “samba weé-i actuallyé-i actuallyé” known as “Rapaz da Moda,” which acquired good approval in the documenting by Jair Rodrigues. But, alternatively, they limited themselves to composing about just eight music per year, also knowing that if indeed they produced 30, most of them will be disputed by many established singers. Thus giving a way of measuring a certain amount of artisan treatment used by them. The duo effectively promoted the professions of some newbie performers, like Anísio Silva, for whom they made up “Alguém me disse.” The music turned into a large hit. Later on, they’d promote Altemar Dutra(“Tudo de Mim”), who’d become for many years an extremely well-known romantic vocalist. Besides that one, Altemar would record in first-hand “O bilhete” and “Serenata perform adeus” (1963), “Que queres tu de mim,” “Somos iguais,” “Sentimental demais” and “O trovador” (most of 1964). Additional important interpreters within their biographies will be Miltinho, using the tremendous achievement of “Poema perform olhar” (1962), and Morgana, with “E a vida continua.” Through the bossa nova period, becoming proponents of most the bossa was against of, it had been organic that they’d shed room and be critics of the brand new wave. However they didn’t shed their faithful viewers, which continuing to prestige them, that was evidenced through substantial offering of “Samba sem pim-pom” (1963), ironic allusion towards the advanced vocal inflections by João Gilbertoand Orlando Silva, and “Garota Moderna,” documented by Wilson Simonal(1965), that was a flagrant response against the liberated traditions of the brand new girl expressed with the “Gal from Ipanema.” By the end from the 60’s a fresh influx of valorization of the favorite values arrived, highlighting the samba. They became a member of the motion, composing “O conde” (1969), which, being truly a homage to Vilma, the porta-estandarte (banner-bearer) from Portela, was documented by Jair Rodrigues with great acceptation. The apex of their sambista profession was to create, under critics from the traditionalists, the samba-enredo backed by Portelain the Carnival of 1973, “O mundo melhor de Pixinguinha,” a respect to the fantastic genius from the master composer.
