EDDIE MATHINE - MÚSICA NEW AGE - CON LOS EXITOS DE LOS BEATLES - VOLUME 1 (2000) REPOST

In this post I present an instrumental tribute in the New Age style. It is the album "Música New Age - Para Sientirse Bien - Con Los Exitos de Los Beatles - Volume 1", performed by the Argentine Eddie Mathine. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything about this artist on the internet.

This album was released in Brazil in 2000, by the Inter CD Records label and distributed by Eldorado Fonográfica. In my opinion, as a Beatles fan, it is worth listening to their songs from a New Age perspective. It was cool.

The songs that make up the selection are the following:

01. Eleanor rigby;

02. You won't see me;

03. Norwegian wood;

04. Something;

05. With a little help of my friend;

06. Hey Jude;

07. Let it be;

08. A hard day's night;

09. Help;

10. All my loving.

It contains versions and reinterpretations of some Beatles songs, performed by artists exclusive to this record label. I highlight the version by singer Claudia, which was never recorded by the Beatles.

From this list, Marcelo Froés states that Prini Lorez was one of the first artists to record a Beatles song in Brazil, in 1964.

The selection of songs and performers are as follows:

02. I want to hold your hand (Prini Lorez);

03. And I love her (Embalo R);

04. Yesterday (Os Sambacanas);

EMMERSON NOGUEIRA - BEATLES (2004) REPOST

Emmerson Oliveira Nogueira was born in Belo Horizonte on September 23, 1972. He is a Brazilian singer, violinist, composer and music producer. He became internationally known for his project “Versão Acústica”, which brings together reinterpretations of international pop and rock classics.

He began to get involved with music at the age of 14. At the same time, he tried to become a cartoonist, but gave up when he realized that he really wanted to be a musician. 

He participated in several festivals in partnership with composers from his city and region, winning many of them, notably two editions of Canta Minas, promoted by Rede Globo de Televisão Minas. In 1994, he won with the song Mar de Mariana, by Pedro Paulo Mendes. In 1995, he won with the song Fim de Todas Canções, which he composed himself.

In 2000, he moved to Rio de Janeiro and signed a contract with the record label Sony Music to work, initially, as a composer. In 2001, Emmerson Nogueira released his first album on the same label, under the project Versão Acústica.

This first album featured covers of renowned international rock artists and bands, such as Supertramp, Pink Floyd, The Police, Eric Clapton and Joe Cocker, and sold over 100,000 copies within a few months of its release.

He continued with the project and, by 2010, had released nine other albums and two DVDs on Sony Music, all of which were awarded Gold Records and some Platinum Records.

In 2008, Emmerson built the Versão Acústica Studio, and in 2012, in partnership with Sony Music Brasil, he created “Versão Acústica Records”. In 2014, he released his first original album, with songs written by himself and by São João composer Paulinho Cri (1954 - 2012), to whom Emmerson dedicates the work.

The album in this post was released in Brazil in 2004 by Sony Music, with the Columbia label, with an excellent tribute to the Beatles and contains the following songs:

01. A hard day’s night;

02. You’ve got to hide your love away;

03. Mother nature’s son;

04. with a little help from my friends;

05. Nowhere man;

06. Blackbird;

07. I’ve just seen a face;

08. golden slumbers;

09. Love me do;

10. We can work it out;

11. Norwegian wood;

12. Across the univers;

13. From me to you;

14. Help.
