The late, great Dirceu Glaeser was a singer, songwriter and radio presenter from the city of Curitiba.

This little concise (one-and-a-half minute long) gem, “Pura Asneira” (“sheer rubbish”), was co-written with Antonio Aguilar, one of the most important record producers, managers and radio & TV hosts in the history of Brazilian rock (oh for Elvis to have met someone like him instead of Tom Parker). The record (credited simply as by Dirceu) was released on the Rozenblit label in 1967.

So far I have not yet discovered who played on the record, but special mention goes for the guitar solo (while most 1960s guitar players followed the Jimmy Reed and Chuck Berry leads – no pun intended -, some, like the one on this recording, went for the James Burton school of virtuosity, like Tony Hicks, Dave Davies and Jimmy Page).
