Portinho e Sua Orquestra - Fogo nos Metais (1965)

Hello, Good Night! I decided to start the day with Portinho, not the drummer, but the Maestro Portinho with Portinho e Sua Orquestra - Fogo nos Metais (1965), for Continental. This record is exactly what is described in the title and shown at this nice cover artwork, Sambas on an orchestra, very swinging and dancing with brass instruments at foreground with Maestro Portinho arrangements.

This release should not be confused with others homonymous record released by Maestro Portinho in 1963 for Philips and 1974 for RCA. There is also another similar release for Copacabana in 1971, Portinho e Sua Orquestra Escaldante - Fogo nos Metais. Tracks include:

01 - Minha Namorada (Carlos Lyra / Vinicius de Moraes)
02 - Balanço Zona Sul (Tito Madi)
03 - Inútil Paisagem (Tom Jobim / Aloysio de Oliveira)
04 - Hora de Lutar (Geraldo Vandré)
05 - Samba de Verão (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
06 - Consolação (Baden Powell / Vinicius de Moraes)
