Wilson Simonal - Alegria Alegria, Volume 2 or Quem Nao Tem Swing Morre com a Boca Cheia de Formiga (1968)

Everybody is crying for Wilson Simonal. So, here it is. Wilson Simonal - Alegria, Alegria - Volume 2 is the second out of three releses for Odeon. Also called Quem Nao Tem Swing Morre com a Boca Cheia de Formiga, this is not considered one of his greatest releases, Simonal soul is a little diminished in comparison with previous releases, since Odeon was willing to capitalize on his growing success by molding him into a more conventional pop singer.

This is the first Loronix Simonal release, there is more to come. zecalouro also wants to tell a little bit more about Simonal bio and the urban legend of his connections with the political mainstream of the 70's, which collapsed his career before givin Simonal the chance to be internationally famous.
