Lô Borges was under immense pressure to record his debut record. The eight songs he had co-composed for Clube da Esquina had the luxury of time to gestate and included contributions from many other musicians in the collective. In contrast, Lô had very little time to compose and record the songs for his debut, which consisted of fifteen brand new songs, nine of which he was the sole composer. Reissued this month via VAMPISOUL.

Lô Borges :: O Mundo, Minas Gerais
RIP. Maybe the most naif member of the legendary Clube da Esquina he helped found, Lô Borges was also the figure responsible for bringing to the movement the heavy dose of easy-listening psychedelia that pushed it over the edge of a musical revolution. He was only a teenager when he wrote some of the best songs of that 1972 record that many consider, to this day, the greatest of Brazilian music: “Um Girassol da Cor do Seu Cabelo,” “Trem de Doido,” “Trem Azul,” “Paisagem da Janela,” and more.
