Why This Album Matters
The album Orlan Divo, released in 1976, represents a significant moment in the discography of Orlandivo, a multifaceted figure in Brazilian popular music, known as a percussionist, singer and composer. Although the text does not detail its tracks, the work's relevance is accentuated by the presence of João Donato in the arrangements, a prominent name who lends his signature to a sophisticated sound characteristic of MPB. Orlandivo's style, with his particular way of incorporating elements such as the "chaveiro" in the percussion, suggests the inventiveness that permeates his work.
Context
Before the release of Orlan Divo in 1976, Orlandivo had already built a solid and diversified career in the Brazilian artistic scene. Moving to Rio de Janeiro as a child, he began his musical career in the 1960s, performing as a crooner for Ed Lincoln's band and recording his first works. His versatility led him to participate in film soundtracks, television programmes and festivals, as well as having his compositions interpreted by various renowned MPB artists, consolidating his name before this specific work.
Recording
The LP Orlan Divo was released in 1976 by the Copacabana record label. One of the most notable aspects of this album's production is the contribution of João Donato, who was responsible for the arrangements, which certainly added a layer of characteristic sophistication and style to the work's sound.

O CD é parco em informações, não tem qualquer tipo de encarte, mas pelo que os músicos falam entre as faixas ainda se descobre que a cozinha do disco é dos mestres Luna e Marçal.

A lot had happened in Brazilian music between the last time Orlandivo fronted a group back with Ed Lincoln, and this tremendous collaboration with João Donato, who blessed it with his Midas touch that was on quite a golden streak at the time.
