The musician and keyboardist Lafayette was born in March 1943 and died in March 2021. At the age of five he began his musical training at the National Conservatory of Music in Rio de Janeiro.
With the
emergence of rock and roll, he joined the group “The Blue Jeans Rockers”, which
was responsible for the first instrumental rock recorded in Brazil. Along with
him in the song Here is the blue jeans
rockers were the future Luizinho e Seus Dinamites, Luizinho (electric
guitar) and Euclides (guitar).
Lafayette's
keyboards contributed decisively to building the sound identity of the Jovem
Guarda movement in Brazil. His presence is unmistakable in several classic
songs by the movement's main idols, since his debut in the song Terror dos Namorados, from Erasmo
Carlos' first album, released in May 1965.
He also plays
the organ in the song Quero que tudo pro
inferno, recorded by Brazilian singer Roberto Carlos, which marked the
genre forever. A kind of 'trademark' of the Jovem Guarda.
Despite this,
the keyboardist does not have due recognition, given the extent, quality and
influence of his work, especially during the period of the Jovem Guarda
movement.
He recorded
numerous albums, with emphasis on the series called “Lafayette Presents His
Successes”. This series reached dozens of issues in its heyday, from the late
1960s to 1970s.
Most of his
albums remain unreleased, in digital format on Compact Disc-Cd, with only a few
timid official compilations re-released, one of which only features hits and
classics by singer Roberto Carlos. What was popular in the recent past has
become cult in modern times.
In this post I
pay tribute to Lafayette by presenting a compilation of Beatles greatest hits,
organized by the blog LaPlayaMusic, never officially released.
The following
