Abilio Manoel - Pena Verde (1970)

It will be nice to show Loronixers an excelente Brazilian artist from the 60's to 70's (but still active) Abilio Manoel. Abilio is acclaimed by SambaRock (Trio Mocoto, Jorge Ben) fans. This is Pena Verde, recorded in 1970 and it is the second LP released by Abilio. Although celebrated, Abilio did not reach a good level of popularity.
