Os Diagonais - Cada um na Sua (1971)

Cassiano is a popular Brazilian composer, being active from the 60's to 70's. Cassiano started his professional career joining the last Bossa Trio formation, which became later on Os Diagonais.

According with the reviewers and specialists, Cassiano was a precursor of Brazilian soul music, influencing everything that came before, such as: Tim Maia, Banda Black Rio, etc.

This album is second out of two LPs released by Os Diagonais, Cada um na Sua (1971). It is a cult and hard to find vinyl.

It is a relaxed and pleasant album; very similar to the early Roberto Carlos releases under Brazilian Jovem Guarda movement. Perfect for a Friday,

Well, this is at least what zecalouro thinks, may be he is wrong, anyway...
