Conjunto Flamingo - Apresentando o Conjunto Flamingo (1962)

It is very hard to decide what music to post each day among the several that Caetano sent to Loronixers. Caetano is nice, he collaborates with a great enthusiasm each day, helping to make the right choices, giving recommendations and adding information that you cannot find anyware. I use to "plan" the day with Caetano with daily phone calls. Today, I did not call, it is Friday. I'm not worried to make the wrong choices all Caetanos contributions are amazing. However, I think this is something of great responsibility and part of the fun is to share with Caetano what I think about the LPs I heard during the day and get the same feedback from him. This is another Caetano's release, thanks a million friend!

This is Conjunto Flamingo - Apresentamos o Conjunto Flamingo (1962), for Audio Fidelity, the first, out of three LPs released by this unique band. I never thought I would hear this LP, this cover with Conjunto Flamingo members such like a bunch of waiters waiting for the wedding start always fascinates me. The legendary Primo, the same artist that everybody knows at Loronix with the LPs Sambossa and Primo Pinta o Sete is Conjunto Flamingo's leader. Personnel listing is just bellow. Tracks include:
