Orquestra Tropical - Big Parada (1969)

Hello, Good Night! Let's start the day addressing a request from the mighty sabadabada, which is the owner of one of the pioneers Brazilian music sanctuaries at the Internet, the sabadabada.com. This is Orquestra Tropical - Big Parada (1969), for Forma.

There is an interesting fact about this LP, there is another "Big Parada" for Elenco with the same cover artwork with just a change in the color, which is blue. I was about to post the Elenco LP by mistake, so similar the cover is. This LP has two acclaimed Brazilian musicians in charge of production and arrangements, Roberto Menescal and Maestro Erlon Chaves.
