HELIO MATHEUS
s/t
RCA
1975 BRAZIL LP
Helio Matheus "Helio Matheus" (RCA-Victor, 1975) (LP)
Easygoing '70s pop with funky, fusion-y roots -- sort of like what Michael Franks might sound like, if he grew up in Rio. Helio Matheus is the vocalist, but the ensemble backing him includes all the key members of the jazz band Azymuth, including keyboardist Jose Roberto Bertrami. Matheus can be considered part of the groovy-smooth "samba rock" sound of the '70s, and this disc has a pleasantly eclectic vibe -- I'm not a huge Azymuth fan, but compared to their other albums, it's a gem. Light, sweet pop that crosses over with the bossa and Rio funk scenes... For folks who are more into fusion-pop than I am, this would certainly be an album to track down. The second half of the album settles -- surprisingly -- into a folkie sort of vibe, even reminding me at times of Glen Campbell which, strangely enough, I mean as a compliment. The biggest surprise on this album was his cover of "Mi Secreto," a gorgeous romantic ballad that I know from Dominican singer Leonardo Paniagua, here translated as "Meu Segredo." What a trip!
