Selected Discography

Marcha sobre a Cidade

MARCHA SOBRE A CIDADE
Considered an icon of Brazilian music, the debut album of Grupo Um is the result of an original musical thought and the first instrumental LP independently produced in Brazil. The disc is important for creating a modern language / aesthetics and break the blockade imposed by the recording industry to instrumental music, opening the doors of a new universe of possibilities in a context of political and cultural restrictions in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Reflexões sobre a Crise do Desejo

REFLEXÕES SOBRE A CRISE DO DESEJO is Grupo Um's second album and a landmark in the band's career. With the newcomers Rodolfo Stroeter on the bass and the German-born multi-instrumentalist Felix Wagner, the group developed some of their most complex themes ever, mixing extremely elaborated compositions with incredibly musicianship, achieving outstanding results.

A Flor de Plástico Incinerada

In “A FLOR DE PLASTICO INCINERADA“, the Grupo Um completed an intense cycle of creation and gave rise to a legend. Following the steps of the previous issues, this third album surpassed the most advanced limits of musical conventions, combining the rhythmic richness of popular music with the avant-garde languages, all with the same inventive spirit and pioneering that led the group to unparalleled heights of creativity and virtuosity.

Lagrima/Sursolide Suite

LP issued in 1982, with Zeca Assumpção and Rodolfo Stroeter (bass players).

Discurso aos Objetos/Balada Unidimensional

LP of eletroacoustic music issued in 1984. Special guest: Paulo Bellinati (guitar)

“SE…”

"SE..." ("IF..."), was recorded in 1987 and released on LP in 1989. With the help of many of Grupo Um, Pau Brasil and Hermeto Pascoal Band's friends, the album quickly became a Brazilian contemporary instrumental music landmark, not only due to the exceptional compositions but also the all-star team of musicians involved in the recordings. Carefully remastered, the CD brings new photos from the recording sessions, as well as previously unreleased bonus tracks.

Percussonica

PERCUSSONICA is the result of the "power-trio" formed by Zé Eduardo Nazario (drums / percussion), Felipe Ávila (guitar) and Lelo Nazario (keyboards). Focusing brazilian music and contemporary jazz, the music enhances the combinations between the acoustic percussion instruments and synthesized percussive sounds. Recorded live in October 1998 during the "Zildjian Day" in São Paulo, with Marlui Miranda on vocals.
