Os Cobras - O LP (1964)

This is a perfect name for a wonderful Samba Jazz instrumental combo, meet Os Cobras - O LP (1964), for RCA. Os Cobras - The Snakes – are the ones that exceed the expectations and are the best on their duties. This is the first and only release by Os Cobras.

Anyway, this is the kind of post that you make better if you introduce the musicians and this is the most awesome personnel listing I have seen so far at Loronix. Check this out.
