Alaide Costa - Alaide Costa (1965)
2007-12-09 05:56:00
Alaide Costa is celebrating her birthday today, December 08 and this is Loronix homage to this very important Brazilian singer. Thanks to several friends who sent emails remembering Alaide Costa's birthday, including an anonymous friend that left a message on our last Alaide Costa post, Alaide Costa & Oscar Castro Neves (1973). Actually, I was thinking about reposting this album, it is an essential and was my first vinyl transfer. I think there is a lot to improve there. Anyway, better making later this month, since we have this one, which is also a real treat. Let's see.This is Alaide Costa - Alaide Costa (1965), for Som Maior, with several renowned musicians backing up Alaide Costa in this session, such as Oscar Castro Neves, Jongo Trio, Laercio de Freitas, Erlon Chaves, among others. Alaide Costa performs a really nice repertoire, including songs by Marcos Valle, Oscar Castro Neves, Walter Santos, Joao do Vale, Tuca, Dulce Nunes, Chico Buarque and Paulinho Nogueira, also pl...

Jair Rodrigues - Jair (1967)
2007-12-09 03:13:00
I have been skipping this album every Saturday. I always thought Loronix had several Jair Rodrigues albums and I decided to check today how many are available and I could Find It only four albums. Jair Rodrigues is really appreciated, deserving a better coverage at Loronix. He released more than 30 LPs on a career that started in the early 60's and spans decades. By the way, today is Saturday and it is Samba time at Loronix. Let's see.This is Jair Rodrigues - Jair (1967), for Philips, released just after a very successful series of three albums recorded with Elis Regina, Dois Na Bossa volumes 1, 2 and 3. Jair (1967) never had a CD reissue and little I know about it, Philips did not credit musicians and arrangers. Tracks include:01 - Triste Madrugada (Jorge Costa)02 - Camará Ê (João Mello / Lindolfo Gaya)03 - Onda Jovem (Aldacir Louro)04 - Meus Cabelos Estão Pintando (José Messias)05 - Flor da Avenida (César Roldão Vieira)06 - Velho Realejo (Custódio Mesquita / Sady Cabral)...

Joao Gilberto, Sylvia Telles & Dick Farney - Joao Gilberto, Silvia Tell
2007-12-08 04:31:00
This is a very interesting compilation sent by Dona Iara that it is not listed on any discography, at least the ones that I could check. By the way, several compilations were released in the late 80's and most of them are pretty unknown. I don't know if it is a matter of limited editions, but they are really worth checking. This LPs were recorded in the turn of the shift between vinyl to CD and they have a pretty good sound. This one is really obscure featuring remastered tunes of three great artists. Let's see.This is Joao Gilberto, Sylvia Telles & Dick Farney - Joao Gilberto, Silvia Telles & Dick Farney (1988), for EMI-Odeon, perfect for those who are giving the first steps towards Brazilian music and want to have in a glance Bossa Nova cuts from three legends. These recordings range from 1957 to 1961, as detailed on track list. Tracks include:01 - Desafinado - JOAO GILBERTO (1958)02 - Dindi - SYLVIA TELLES (1959)03 - Este Seu Olhar - DICK FARNEY (1959)04 - O Barquinho ...

Hello, good evening! Just a quick challenge game while the music is being prepared. This is a very nice piece of video taken from a Brazilian movie recorded in 1958. Your mission is to identify who is this mysterious singer. Actually, I don't have a clue who is he, but the video is so nice that probably the answer will come very fast.Hope uEnjoy!

Jorge Ben - O Bidu | Silencio no Brooklin (1967)
2007-12-07 04:34:00
Loronixers always make nice recommendations and I use to save all hints on a hunting list. Perhaps I need to make this hunting list public to the community. This album is a perfect example, it is a long time request and perhaps many friends are waiting for it. This post came to life with the help of a contributor that really rocks, AdHoc. I had the chance to take it for a first listen an hour ago and I admit that I'm really amazed with this album, reference and acclaimed by several important artists, such like Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil. If you were waiting for this one, thanks to AdHoc for making our waiting over. Let's see.This is Jorge Ben - O Bidu | Silencio no Brooklin (1967), for Artistas Unidos / Rozenblit, made available by AdHoc's 1987 Atoll Music CD reissue. Perhaps I'm the last on earth who do not know the meaning of this album title, O Bidu | Silencio no Brooklin, but it does not matter since we have a great record here. Jorge Ben is backed by The Fevers, which ...

Olivia Byington - Identidad (1982)
2007-12-07 03:49:00
Hello, good evening! Let's start today with he album scheduled to close the day, a major change on our agenda for this Thursday and you will understand the reason later tonight. This is an artist that I learn to respect and admire this year with the help of Loronix. I'm sure we have many others friends in the same situation. Olivia Byington LPs are really nice to hear and she always makes something different on each other. Let's see.This is Olivia Byington - Identidad (1982), for Som Livre, recorded between July and August of 1982 in the city of Havana, Cuba. According with Olivia Byington liner notes, she went to Cuba on year earlier to perform at Festival de Varadero, being invited to record this album one year later. I'm not sure about the availability of personnel information for this session; the album only brings references to the participation of Pablo Milanes and Frank Fernandez, Emiliano Salvador, Jose Bornot and Poveda as arrangers. The repertoire features a blend of B...

Orquestra Armorial de Camera - Gaviao (1976)
2007-12-06 05:35:00
A very good friend recently recommended this orchestra and I cannot believe that I could live without. Orquestra Armorial de Camara was nested inside Movimento Armorial, created at Northeast region by Ariano Suassuna and Cussy de Almeida, which is the leader of Orquestra Armorial. The movement was created with the orchestra in 1970 and Continental recorded the first album in 1975. Orquestra Armorial is acclaimed worldwide and it is very connected with the Northeast culture and something really unique, different from everything that you heard before at Loronix. Let's see.This is Orquestra Armorial de Camera - Gaviao (1976), for Continental, the third out of four albums released in a short period of five years, from 1975 to 1979. I'm really excited with this album and I could not make a satisfactory research on the orchestra and Cussy de Almeida. This should not be a major concern since Loronixers are invited to append additional information at comments section. Tracks include:Perso...

Claudette Soares - Voce (1974)
2007-12-06 03:37:00
Hello, good evening! Claude tte Soares recorded her first 78 rpm in 1954, after starting her career on Radio, being recognized as the Princezinha do Baiao for her performances as a duo with Luiz Gonzaga, The King of Baiao. Later, she left the Baiao genre in the early 60's to record her first LP for Mocambo, Claudette e a Dona da Bossa (1964). Since this debut LP recorded more than 40 years ago, Claudette Soares has an active recording career, performing until today. Let's see.This is Claudette Soares - Voce (1974), for Odeon. Although listed as "Voce" on every website I could check, the only reference to the word "Voce" is track 07 - Voce, by Roberto Carlos and Erasmo Carlos. Claudette Soares delivers a repertoire of ballads and romantic songs with her delicate interpretation and sweet voice. Maestro Jose Briamonte plays a major role at Voce, delivering arrangements and musical direction. Tracks include:01 - Proposta (Roberto Carlos / Erasmo Carlos)02 - Fraqueza (César Costa Filho...

Participe do Musicos do Brasil | Uma Enciclopédia
2007-12-05 04:41:00
Amigos, Loronixers, boa noite. O projeto Músicos do Brasil : Uma Enciclopédia, tem por objetivo aproximar o público dos nossos grandes instrumentistas, indo além de suas biografias, e buscando mostrar um pouco mais do músico, suas características, suas preferências, sua formação, sua obra e sua personalidade musical.Neste projeto, o foco está nos músicos que efetivamente participaram de gravações instrumentais -- seja com discos próprios, discos de grupos instrumentais, ou como músicos convidados em gravações instrumentais. Ou seja: o critério de participação é a existência de uma discografia instrumental com seu nome.Um dos nossos desafios é obter um conteúdo novo, significativo, atraente e, em muitos casos, inédito, sobre músicos já falecidos. Infelizmente, pouquíssimos foram biografados; e, mesmo nas biografias, raramente conhecemos o músico, mas apenas as impressões do autor da biografia sobre o músico.Essa é então a grande novidade, a criação d...

Music Video | Elizeth Cardoso & Raphael Rabello (1989)
2007-12-05 04:06:00
This music video features an excerpt of a concert performed in Rio de Janeiro, September 1989 by Elizeth Cardoso and Raphael Rabello, which is in my opinion, one of the greatest music video available at Loronix. They recorded together a truly amazing album, which is the last album and the last performance by Elizeth Cardoso that passed away a couple of months before this concert in May 1990. This is a long video with 14 minutes running time, starts with Raphael Rabello performing solo before Elizeth reaches the stage to prove that she was really one of the greatest Brazilian diva. Really overwhelming.Hope uEnjoy!

Turibio Santos - Choros do Brasil (1977)
2007-12-05 03:49:00
Hello, good evening! Here we go on another Turibio Santos release, one of the great surprises and a great lesson learned this year at Loronix. Turibio Santos is truly a worldwide acclaimed musicians, much more than I thought. Every out of print album by Turibio Santos creates a great response by Loronixers, in terms of feedback given and number of downloads. This one is really special and for my surprise, never had a CD reissue. Let's see.This is Turibio Santos - Choros do Brasil (1977), for Tapecar, which is Turibio Santos first album dedicated to the Choro genre, and with most of the repertoire based on compositions by the acclaimed Joao Pernambuco. Raphael Rabello, Jonas, Joao Pedro and Chaplin, top-notch Choro musicians, back Turibio Santos. I think this should be a real treat for everybody. Tracks include:PersonnelTuribio Santos(violao)Raphael Rabello(violao 7 cordas)Jonas(cavaquinho)Joao Pedro(violao)Chaplin(percussion)Track List1. Dengoso (João Pernambuco)2. Graúna (João ...

Elis Regina - Elis Especial (1968)
2007-12-04 04:57:00
Hello, good evening! I'm ill, but fine. It is 2 a.m. right now and I slept the last 6 hours, nice sleeping, I feel like waking up in the morning. I took a glass of milk and came to see what's happening with Loronix. I wish I got sick more often, yesterday, we had a really solid day with several new visits above Loronix average. This community is really amazing and keeps growing every time. That's why I decided to make this unique post as homage to our community. I cannot research this album and I need to be straightforward, but Elis Regina is self-explanatory and it has been a very long time since we made one of her career LPs. Let's see.This is Elis Regina - Elis Especial (1978), for Philips, featuring arrangements by Maestro Erlon Chaves and some anthological Elis Regina cuts, such like track 09 - Upa Neguinho. Perhaps tomorrow I can be 100% to spend a nice evening with you. Tracks include:01 - Samba do Perdão (Baden Powell / Paulo César Pinheiro)02 - "Tributo a Tom Jobim" V...

Quarteto em Cy / Tamba Trio - Som Definitivo (1966)
2007-12-03 15:55:00
There is no much to say about this reposting, rescued from June 2006, with the files hosted at the old Rapidshare.de and probably out of the sight and reach of many Loronixers. Such like Edu Lobo - A Musica de Edu Lobo por Edu Lobo (1963), Tamba Trio proves to be also a great backup band, this time with the Girls from Bahia, also known as Quarteto em Cy and their second career album. Let's see.This is Quarteto em Cy / Tamba Trio - Som Definitivo (1966 ), for Forma. Luiz Eça delivers instrumental and vocal arrangements for Quarteto em Cy. Do not miss Vinicius de Moraes liner notes at the back cover, now included as part of the upgrade. This is another of those mandatory and self-explanatory releases. You cannot go wrong with Som Definitivo. Tracks include:PersonnelQUARTETO EM CYCyvaCynaraCybeleCyleneTAMBA TRIOLuiz Eca(piano, arrangements)Bebeto(bass, flute)Ohana(drums)Quarteto em Cy, Tamba Trio(vocals)Track List01 - Zambi (Edu Lobo / Vinicius de Moraes)02 - Imagem (Luis Eça / Aloys...

Tito Madi - A Fossa Vol. 2 (1972)
2007-12-03 03:51:00
Let's start the music showing the second out of the four albums recorded by Tito Madi on his "A Fossa" sequel. The other three volumes were made available during this year and they had a nice response from Loronixers. This is a great series, but the name "A Fossa" does not help much. Tito Madi performs a great repertoire on all these four LPs, including artists that were just appearing to public by that time, such as Secos & Molhados. Let's see.This is Tito Madi - A Fossa Vol. 2 (1972), for London. This cover is great, including the back cover with Tito Madi as a giant among the girls, but I still prefer the one made for the first volume, the pink one also released on different colors on top of the same artwork. Tito Madi performs some of his own compositions, Bossa Nova standards and a very nice Caetano Veloso composition, Coracao Vagabundo. Once again, personnel listing is not credited. Tracks include:01 - Chove La Fora (Tito Madi)02 - Minha (Francis Hime / Ruy Guerra)03 - P...

Caetano Veloso e a Outra Banda da Terra - Muito Dentro da Estrela Azulada (
2007-12-02 05:41:00
It is great to see Caetano Veloso again at Loronix, and it is fantastic to see Caetano Veloso with an album that had a tremendous influence on my choices on music and on choices of the friends I use to make music together in 1978. Muito is not among Caetano Veloso albums that everybody acclaims, but it has very beautiful moments, especially on tunes like Ca-Ja, Muito and Sampa, probably, the most successful songs that came out of Muito. Let's see.This is Caetano Veloso e A Outra Banda da Terra - Muito Dentro da Estrela Azulada (1978), for Philips. I forgot to say something about this cover in the last paragraph. Dona Cano is the name of the old lady with Caetano Veloso and also her mother, really awesome cover. Muito has A Outra Banda da Terra, which is Caetano's support band in the 70's and 80's, featuring Arnaldo Brandao, a great guy and a great bassist that I had the chance to meet and take classes. Anyway, I will let you with Caetano Veloso during this Sunday, combined with ...

Nelson Cavaquinho - Serie Documento (1972)
2007-12-02 03:21:00
Hello, good evening! It was very silly of mine to keep this album for months without taking it for a hearing. I bought this one on those cheap bargains and I thought -- and probably the storeowner also -- it was a compilation of early Nelson Cavaquinho songs released by RCA Victor in the late 70's. I was wrong and I knew I was wrong this week when I took it for a spin and noticed that all tracks are from the same session. What a session by the way. This is the second Nelson Cavaquinho career LP at Loronix and it is also very, very, very good. Let's see.This is Nelson Cavaquinho - Serie Documento (1972), for RCA Victor. This "Serie Documento" title is the root cause of the confusion. Anyway, Nelson Cavaquinho is self-explanatory and you should not skip this one. Sergio Cabral liner notes says something really correct, you should take this album and also Nelson Cavaquinho not as a singer with beautiful voice and easy songs, he is not for beginners, but Nelson sings with his soul, he...

Joao Bosco & Aldir Blanc - Nova Historia da Musica Popular Brasileira (
2007-12-01 04:23:00
Here we go on another Nova Historia da Musica Popular Brasileira album, a series that Loronixers always give good feedback. Loronix is not aiming to release the whole set of albums, but the ones that really worth our attention, such like this one, featuring this very important duo of Brazilian songwriters. Let's see.This is Joao Bosco & Aldir Blanc - Nova Historia da Musica Popular Brasileira (1976), for Abril Cultural. Different from yesterday, where Sergio Ricardo performed all songs, we have special guests at this edition, Elis Regina, performing three tracks and Ademilde Fonseca. Actually, it is impossible to address Joao Bosco and Aldir Blanc without opening a full chapter for Elis Regina, she was certainly the most important interpreter of their compositions. Tracks include:01 - Agnus Sei (João Bosco / Aldir Blanc) with João Bosco02 - Bala Com Bala (João Bosco / Aldir Blanc) with Elis Regina03 - Títulos de Nobreza (João Bosco / Aldir Blanc) with Ademilde Fonseca04 - ...

The Pop's - Feliz Natal (1969)
2007-12-01 01:04:00
Hello, good evening! We are not in December yet, but for zecalouro today is Christmas. My mother had a serious broken harm a couple of weeks ago, very serious; it was that kind of broke where the bone goes outside the body. She went to surgery to put pieces of metal and today she took out those rigid parts to sustain the metal and the doctor said that everything is all right. That's amazing! Better celebrate this anticipated Christmas with one of Mom's finding. Let's see.This is The Pop's - Feliz Natal (1969), for Equipe, featuring instrumental rock renditions of Brazilian and international well-known Christmas songs. Very dancing and tiny session with only 26 minutes running time. Do not wait for Christmas time, you will have a lot of fun with Feliz Natal, they make me laugh out loud with the arrangements created for these tunes. Tracks include:01 - Noite Feliz (Mohr / Franz Gruber / Adpt. Simões)02 - O Tannenbaum (Tradicional / Adpt. Simões)03 - Valsa da Despedida (M. Curtis...

Baden Powell - Samba Triste (1989)
2007-11-30 02:29:00
I think AdHoc will be taken by surprise with this post that has several elements of his contributions. This CD was issued in France, 1989, and nowadays is a very hard to find album, since it never had a reissue since them. I'm really glad to make this album available, the last Baden Powell career album at Loronix was made available in the beginning of July by one of those fantastic contributions by Caetano Rodrigues, a five months hiatus. I think Loronixers will be pleased with this one. Let's see.This is Baden Powell - Samba Triste (1989), for Accord, featuring two Baden Powell records in one, Samba Triste Vol. 5 (1975) and Tristeza (1976). I can't make better than Brazil-on-Guitar, which is the best-known resource to Baden Powell music. I'm taking BOG reviews on Samba Triste Vol. 5 and Tristeza to guarantee a flawless Baden Powell release at Loronix. Do not miss Brazil-on-Guitar at http://brazil-on-guitar.de.BOG Samba Triste Vol. 5 (1975) review:"BrazilOnGuitar says: Samba Tri...

Os Cariocas - O Melhor de Os Cariocas (1989)
2007-11-30 00:02:00
Hello, good evening! We were informed by cvllos that Jedir Pimentel has passed today. Jedir Pimentel had a major participation on bringing Os Cariocas together on a recording studio after an hiatus of 24 years, started with their last release for Philips in 1966, until the first after many years, in 1990 for Som Livre, Minha Namorada. This is Loronix tribute for Jedir Pimental and his passion to Os Cariocas and Brazilian music.This is Os Cariocas - O Melhor de Os Cariocas (1989), for Philips, featuring "the best of" Os Cariocas on their Philips years, four albums, being the first released at 1963, and the last in 1965. For reasons that I could not check, O Melhor de Os Cariocas does not includes their last Philips release, Arte / Vozes (1966). Anyway, if those albums are fantastic alone, a compilation with remastered songs taken from them should be really worth checking. Tracks include:OS CARIOCASSeverino Filho(piano, instrumental and vocal arrangements, vocals)Badeco(violao, vocals...

Hermeto Pascoal e Grupo - Lagoa da Canoa, Municipio de Arapiraca (1984)

Someone said here a great thing about Hermeto Pasco al, it was a Loronixer, I cannot remember whom. He said Hermeto was the real Brazilian music ambassador, it is a very nice statement and I totally agree. AdHoc, the frequent FLAC contributor sent this album in a very good timing, taking advantage of the last Airto Moreira post with participation of Hermeto Pascoal. Let's see.This is Hermeto Pascoal e Grupo - Lagoa da Canoa, Municipio de Arapiraca (1984), for Som da Gente, featuring Hermeto Pascoal and the constellation of top-notch musicians assembled as "Grupo", which is Hermeto Pascoal as I like most. AdHoc sent to us a 1992 CD reissue with a different cover and some additional tracks not included in the first vinyl issue. I can't decide which cover I like most; Hermeto Pascoal photos are always amazing. What a nice album, it was a surprise to hear 04 - Papagaio Alegre with Hermeto e Grupo making on recording something that I use to do with zecalouro for leisure; they mix a parr...

Paulinho e Seu Conjunto - Para Animar Sua Festa Nr. 3 (1960)

Hello, good evening! I thought everything was really fine for a great night today, but my hosting (a very important and invisible service for Loronix daily operation) is having an outage tonight. They say a fix is coming and if the problem persists we will be very limited today. The alternative is to prepare the posts today instead of getting ready and tested stuff already available. Anyway, that's exactly what I did right now, called zecalouro to spin and rip one of his favorites in the "Para Dancar" style, which is the third album released by Paulinho Magalhaes for Prestige label. Let's see.This is Paulinho e Seu Conjunto - Para Animar Sua Festa Nr. 3 (1960), for Prestige. Refreshing our memory, Paulinho is the drummer of Bola Sete Trio on "Autentico" years, being also the drummer of some early Sergio Mendes albums in the US as Paulinho Magalhaes. Para Animar Sua Festa Nr. 3 features a repertoire organized by four different blocks, "Boleros e Cha Cha Cha", "Sambas e Teleco Teco"...

2007-10-18 05:52:00
It is really nice when an artist that I never heard about comes to my hand with the help of Loronix community. And I get really surprised when a friend out of Brazil introduces a new artist to us. Meet Dora Lopes , kindly sent by the legendary Mr. G. that highly recommends this record. Dora Lopes is not a singer that recorded only one album and disappears; she was a well-known singer at Copacabana nightclubs, being also a great composer. Thanks once again Mr. G.This is Dora Lopes - Testa mento (1974), for RGE, featuring a repertoire with compositions by her own. In spite of the very sad lyrics, this is a great album, Dora Lopes sings nicely and is backed by renowned musicians, such like Poly, Heraldo do Monte, Boneca, Bolao and a nice rhythm section in charge of the obscure Os Embaixadores do Samba. Personnel listing is very long and you will find it inside the music. Sorry, I got additional time and is now available bellow. Tracks include:PersonnelJose Toledo(arrangments)Angelo Apolo...

Hello, good evening! I'm having a nice evening. It's raining in Rio de Janeiro. I cannot remember the last time we had a rain falling. I'm in the mood of getting out to walk in the rain, but I'm too old for such thing, better stay home with Loronixers and avoid a flu or something.I received today a email message from a friend saying that Loronix was too much focused on instrumental music with few releases of boys and girls singing. I will try to query Loronix Find It to get an answer from a broader perspective. Anyway, I decided to make not only a singer, but a whole vocal group that we do not release at Loronix since 2006, Trio Irakitan. Let's see.This is Trio Irakitan - Outros Boleros que Gostamos de Cantar (1961), for Odeon, presented here by an Imperial reissue, which is that Odeon subsidiary that sold records using direct sales. Trio Irakitan has a discography that span decades with several recording releases and they are still active, in spite of the unacceptable passing ...

Deo Rian e Conjunto Noites Cariocas - Ineditos de Jacob do Bandolim (1980)
2007-10-17 06:43:00
Since I decided to put more focus in the Choro genre a couple of months ago, Loronixers are gradually increase their response to this wonderful music in terms of number of downloads and direct feedback given. Choro is not for starters, and the feedback you are giving demonstrates that our community is really open to new styles and new artists. I'm making today this album, which is really nice tribute to Jacob do Bandolim by one of his disciples, Deo Rian. This is the outcome of Deo Rian research on not released Jacob do Bandolim compositions, twelve compositions never released before and performed by Deo Rian and his Conjunto Noites Carioca s, featuring a very young Raphael Rabello on Violao de 7 Cordas. Let's see.This is Deo Rian e Conjunto Noites Cariocas - Ineditos de Jacob do Bandolim (1980), for Eldorado, featuring 12 Jacob do Bandolim compositions never released before on recording. Deo Rian released this year the Volume 2 of Ineditos de Jacob do Bandolim and I urge Loronixer...

Hello, good evening! In the beginning of Loronix, the most difficult task I had was the decision making process to select the last post of the day. Something has changed since then and I don't know what, but in the last months I have a thought time deciding what should be the opening post. For instance, I started this paragraph with an album on my mind and now I have a totally different choice. This makes me fell crazy! Anyway, now I have a third option that seems to be the right one. Let's see.This is Leo Peracchi & Os Viol inos Magicos - Melodia da Broad way (1961), for Musidisc, another nice Nilo Sergio - Musidisc owner - creation and the second out of a series of seven albums released by this group of Brazilian musicians assembled as Os Violin os Magicos with the coordination of Maestro Leo Peracchi.

This is a recording session that I would like to take part. No matter what doing there, serving coffee, shining shoes, whatever. We have here the first album recorded by Airto Moreira in US, featuring Flora Purim, Hermeto Pascoal, Sivuca, Ron Carter and Gary McFarland as producer, a constellation of top-notch musicians at their peak. And the most incredible fact about this album, Natura l Feelings never had a CD reissue, as far as I could search. Let's see.This is Airto Moreira - Natural Feelings (1970), for Buddah Records. It is nice to see the back cover with recording session photos showing Hermeto Pascoal and Sivuca on a very young age. Hermeto had a short hair and I would not recognize him. This cover artwork is also amazing and it is provided with a very nice scan, you will spend several minutes navigating on each detail. I'm not versed on Airto Moreira discography, and if the other records he made are such like this one, it really worth to start a series on Airto Moreira. An...
