From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

Som Imagin�rio was a famous Brazilian group responsible for support the singer Milton Nascimento. The group released 3 albums between 1970 and 1973.

The band in its original lineup had Wagner Tiso (piano and keyboards), Tavito (vocals and acoustic guitars), Z� Rodrix (vocals, keyboards and flutes), Luiz Alves (bass), Robertinho Silva (drums) and Frederiko (guitars) and their 2 first records are more folk/psychedelic.

In 1973 the band was a quartet with: Wagner Tiso (piano and keyboards), Frederiko (guitars), Luiz Carlos (bass) and Robertinho (drums). With Wagner Tiso as a leader they were now almost instrumental and this is by far their best record.

Z� Rodrix were already with his trio S�, Rodrix & Guarabira and Tavito still participate in the album as a guest playing acoustic 12 strings guitar in 3 tracks. But it's the hands of the maestro Wagner Tiso that makes all the difference in the world in Matan�a Do Porco (1973).

'Armina' and 'Matan�a Do Porco' are the keytracks, Progressive pearls lost in the haze of time. This is one of the true Brazilian classics.
