Los Indios Tabajaras


Corrective wave is always very boring. Have to bear with it until wave iv is completed to go for the last ride until the Lunar Chinese New Year.


Music From Los Indios Tabajaras



Los Indios Tabajaras
was a guitar duo of two brothers, Natalicio and Antenor Lima, sons of a Tabajaras Indian chieftain of an isolated jungle tribe in Brazil .

The story circulated that they found guitars mislaid by European explorers. They taught themselves to play the guitars. Next, they traveled to Rio de Janiero to perform in the city’s clubland where they were noticed by a RCA agent that signed them to a recording contract in 1943 (?).

Their albums were not selling well in the US until years later when a late-night radio deejay started to play their music for the late night listeners and to his surprise, many listeners called up to request for more and to enquire about the guitarist and the music and the Los Indios wave started to spread. In November 1963, four of the top ten hits belonged to them.

Followings were some of the songs that accompanied me late at night while I was doing my school works or studying for my examinations in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Nice music befitting a cool, lazy and quiet Sunday.
Hey Chan one idea for you, why not venturing into part time Blog D.J.
