O Terço CD (Compacto Duplo)

In the history of "O Terço", which has its origins in 1968, are three bands in far-off the 60 - Joint Stock Co., Hot Dog and Os Libertinos, where began the guitarist Sergio Hinds, bassist Cesar de Mercês and drummer Vinícius Cantuária.  The group Os Libertino, then formed by the three aforementioned musicians, was an attraction that ruffled domingueiras of Rio de Janeiro. The band was still called Santíssima Trindade. In 1970 or 71, Caesar de Mercês is replaced by Jorge Amiden. Now change the name to O Terço. The set, as I might have guessed, was from Rio de Janeiro, but then would settle down in Sao Paulo.

O Terço began singing a rock that they themselves would rank after a "rude" (Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, etc..), On the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. At the time, were rivals of A Bolha (another historic national band), but changed the style, concentrating on vocals and enjoyed great success with the song "Tributo ao Sorriso", including between public is not fond of rock.

On the third meaning of the word, of course it is a "fractional equivalent to three" or "the third part of something," including the Rosary, a set of accounts used in Catholic liturgy to compute a certain number of prayers (fifteen Our Fathers and fifteen Hail Marys). The name O Terço out nicely at least for this first incarnation of the band, which was a trio (guitar-bass-drums). Sérgio Hinds, asked where the name was taken from the group said: O Terço as a trio and the symbol of the union representing the rosary.

According to Marcelo Dolabella, in his ABZ of Brazilian Rock, the group had released two singles before the first single LP.

That was the time of Rural Rock and Progressive Rock, and O Terço followed these sounds.

Over the year to launch the debut LP: the site's Casa do Rock 70 reports that was in 1969, Leonardo Nahoum, in his Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock in 1970, and Marcelo Dolabella in 1972. There seems to be more unanimity with respect to the second date, 1970.

Sérgio Hinds had moved away from the group to play with Ivan Lins. It was then that Jorge Amiden called Cezar de Mercês to join the group as bassist. Sérgio Hinds returned shortly afterwards to complete the quartet. With innovation and creativity, in partnership with Guarabyra, the group created the electric cello (played by Sergio Hinds) and the three arms of guitar (nicknamed "tritarra", played by Jorge Amiden). It was so beautiful O Terço released a compact double with five songs, among them, a theme by Bach, who showed well the classical influences of the band.

Soon after, Jorge Amiden which until then was the main creative mind of the O Terço, quarreled with the group and leave. By agreement between the other three members, Sérgio Hinds registered the name "O Terço" for which George Amiden did not. After leaving the group in 1972, Amiden created a new group called Karma, along with musicians Luiz Mendes Junior (guitar) and Alen Earth (below). Karma recorded a beautiful album this year and then disbanded.

O Terço then became Sérgio Hinds (guitar), Cesar de Mercês (bass) and Vinicius Cantuária (drums). Even in mid-1972, O Terço recorded the album "South Wind" by Marcos Valle. Also participated in some tracks the trio "Paulo, Claudio and Mauricio" formed by twin brothers Paul and Claudio Guimaraes (flute and guitar) and arranger Mauricio Maestro, plus guitarist Frederik (Fred), ex-Som Imaginário. The Rosary along with Marcos Valle toured throughout the country and played at the Midem Festival in Cannes, France.

Last news: this record was released in CD last year, with many bonus tracks.
A must have.
