O cantor e compositor Jards Macalé, morto ontem, aos 82 anos, vítima de uma parada cardíaca, sofrida após um procedimento cirúrgico — ele estava internado no Rio de Janeiro, onde morava, para tratar um enfisema pulmonar —, não se destacou apenas como compositor.
Macalé, the author of wonderful songs with personality such as "Barato Steam" and "Secret Mall", is also one of the producers of the music of Tr Transa, which is considered Caetano Veloso's most important album.
"There would be no trance without Mikey", Caetano wrote on his social networks, after confirming the death of the Rio musician.
The anthology album, recorded in London, separated the two musicians and friends.
In the fight started by Macaulay, they spent more than 40 years without talking to each other, exchanging criticism in the press who were unhappy with the fact that their name did not appear on Transa's technical sheet.
The two are used together to show the Trans Ita 50th celebration.
Catato asked Macalé to go to two sermons in Espaç was not satisfied, in São Paulo.The composer from Rio de Janeiro has enjoyed many times, as a guitarist in ten out of ten "ten and ten" ten ".
Why didn't Caetano give credit to Macalé Trance?In addition to the fact that the album would not exist without the producer, as Bahian admitted, they were great friends - Macao, as he was called privately, was the one who taught Caetano to play the guitar.
Caetano said in a 2012 interview with O Globo newspaper, "I had a great intimacy with him (...) I was very shy as a musician, and I wasn't afraid of him."

The light from the window reflected everything that was happening outside on the wall of the room, but due to an optical phenomenon, this image was reversed, so you had to go down, this musician
"We stayed like that for a long time, looking at the images. Caetano was quiet, in complete silence. That's how we met," said Macalé.
Two years after this incredible friendship began, Macale hosted Maria Bethânia in her apartment in Ipanema.
The singer had just arrived in Rio to replace Nara Leão in the Opinião show.She developed a friendship with the Veloso brothers, but their relations were severed when Cayetano was arrested and banished from London.
In 1970, Macaulay was returning from a carnival night when he received a call from Caetano.Bahian began recording a new album and soon needed his friend's presence at Chapelle's recording studios.
He has all the ideas in his head, but only MACAO will be able to prepare them, to give a unity to the information.
marijuana, acid, milk
The band that performs on "Trance" was created in the studio on a whim. Selection from Brazilian music: Macale on guitar, Tutti Moreno on drums, Moacir Albuquerque on bass, Aureo de Sousa on percussion.
The work of design and preparation, Magalé used the advantage of the city in the city - the capital capital is still in contact with London, as a time of cultural values and well-known values - to take all the drugs possible.Soon he was called to conduct the music of Careta Caetano.
"Kitano has never smoked, or taken acid. He is afraid of going crazy, as he is already crazy.
Marijenana, LSD and other additives, musicians who drink liters and liters of milk.
"We practiced drinking milk to avoid contamination. There was an intensity. We recorded practically everything alive to capture the heat of the moment. It's a longing for your land, your language, your way of life, your people," Macaulay said in an interview with UOL.
In this crazy atmosphere, a great album was recorded, one of the greatest in the Brazilian discography.Caeton, who had been depressed since his arrival in London, felt invigorated and grateful to Macaulay.
"It was an organic, spontaneous work and my first band album was recorded almost live. Transa gave me the courage to work with A Outra Banda da Terra," Caetano said in a 1991 interview with Jornal do Brasil.

"Disappeared" Macalé
Caenato and Makali are sure to record many more LPS together if Rio's artist name appears in the technical details.That's not what happened.
Her name appears nowhere, nor does Angela Ron RO, also shown in the studio.
However, unlike the young singer at the time, his contribution to the harmony in the Solo Track "nostalgia", Makale, in addition to playing the guitar in all the tracks, is the organizer of the album, producer and the best music organizer.
CHETAN, first, put the blame on the producer and graphic designer ALVINO Guimarees, his best friend, responsible for the cover of trada.

In 2006, in the Little Delivery of the Song of Brazil was auto'a.
"The technical documentation of the 1971 album Gal-Fatal, for example, is rather confusing regarding the musicians playing. Who is the guitarist and on which songs? Lanny Gordin or Pepeu Gomes?", asks music critic Tárik de Souza, in a statement to News Brasil.
“The most scandalous case that happens to me, after that time, is that of João Gilberto's album recorded in the USA, The best of two worlds, from 1976, in which he is on the cover together with Stan Getz and Miúcha and his name does not appear”, he said.
The point is Macalé, very hurt by neglecting friends, breaking friendships.And he was not silent.He complained several times in the press.
