Walter Wanderley - Samba no Esquema de Walter Wanderley (1963)

zecalouro presents another Walter Wanderley LP. He never gets tired of Walter Wanderley. It is disgusting that this artist, that recorded 46 LPs, had died almost forgotten in 1986 caught up by a cancer.

Ten years after his passing, the record industry took many out of print to business presenting Walter Wanderley as a mere lounge player, making a lot of money.

zecalouro has been looking for music videos of Walter Wanderley or even spare pieces of live performances and did not find anything. It is amazing that so far we could not see Walter playing.

Anyway, let's flip the coin to this record that landmarks Walter Wanderley experiences with Samba, Walter Wanderley - Samba no Esquema de Walter Wanderley (1963), also the first Walter recording with guitar, sax and percussion. Another out of print gem. Tracks include:

01 - Garota de Ipanema
02 - Pra que Chorar
03 - So Danco Samba
04 - Samba So
05 - Samba Novo
06 - Ze da Conceicao
07 - Eu faco um Le-le-le
08 - O Que eu Gosto de Voce
09 - Samba do Aviao
