A self-released album from 1978 by William Senna, a guitarist from Minas Gerais who later went on to release excellent album on Egberto Gismonti’s Carmo label. The album features 17 tracks, showcasing Gismonti’s distinctive guitar playing which embodies a left-field sensibility that’s clearly in his direct lineage alongside his commanding vocals and the atmospheric vocals and percussion of Thelma Guedes. Highlights include the title track “Canto Do Tempo” featuring a captivating interplay between the two, organic, spiritual folk song “Oferenda” incorporating sound effects of birdsong, percussion experimental tune “Aboio” and “Canção Para O Silêncio” a beautiful, contemplative track with Thelma Guedes on lead vocals. Beyond mere folk music, the album is a compelling listen thanks to its deep spirituality and left-field sensibilities. Please note that the front and back covers have become separated, though the original insert is included. There is some surface noise/crackling but overall, the condition is reasonably good.
ジスモンチのCarmoからのリリースも素晴らしかったミナス出身のギター奏者William Sennaがそれ以前の78年に自主にてリリースしてした作品。ジスモンチの耳に留まるのも頷ける直系とも言える前衛感覚を含んだようなギタープレイに存在感のあるヴォーカル、Thelma Guedesの雰囲気あるヴォーカルとパーカッションの構成で聞かせる全17曲を収録。両者による引き付ける掛け合いによるタイトル曲”Canto Do Tempo”、鳥の鳴き声のSEが入る有機スピリチュアル的フォーク曲”Oferenda”、パーカッションを入れた実験調の”Aboio”、 Thelma Guedesによるアトモスフェリックなヴォーカルと静観な流れが美しい”Canção Para O Silêncio”はじめ、フォークだけではない精神性やレフトフィールドな感覚も大きな聞き所。フロントとバックでジャケが半分になってしまっていますがインサートは付属。盤面チリチリする箇所ありますがまずまずのところと思います。
