LUISINHO MAGALHÃES - INTERPRETA CANÇÕES DOS BEATLES

The post of the day features the album "Interpreta Canções dos Beatles", by Luisinho Magalhães. The album was released in Brazil in 2011 by Esfinge Records.

Luisinho Magalhães began his musical career in 1965, in Ceará, performing solo guitar themes by the musician Dilermando Reis. His musical influence gradually shifted towards British music in the 1960s, especially the Beatles.

Taking advantage of the wave he formed his first group called "Os Faraós", playing on guitar the music of the young guard that was in force at the time.

In the 1970s, with the dissolution of the group "Os Faraós" and the trend towards the "disco" rhythm, Luisinho formed the group "Vôo Livre". With this formation they performed several great shows, with an audience of up to 12,000 people.

After a break in the music scene, Luisinho Magalhães returned in 1983, in the voice and guitar version, playing in bars and restaurants until he formed the group "Luisinho Magalhães & Banda". It is currently an orchestra formed by 13 musicians.

In this line-up, the band plays different styles from different eras covering an audience of events and clubs. For several years it was elected the best dance band in Ceará and the best band of the golden years. It was also awarded the II Nelsons Music Award, as the best performing band of the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s.

Below is a list of Beatles songs performed by Luisinho Magalhães:

01. Here comes the sun;
02. Something;
03. Michelle;
04. Girl;
05. Eleanor rigby;
06. The long and winding road;
07. While my guitar gently weeps;
08. Let it be;
09. And I love her;
10. Here, there and everywhere;
11. In my life;
12. Blackbird;
13. If I fell;
14. I feel fine;
15. Run for your life;
16. Can't buy me love.
