Lucio Alves - Cantando Depois do Sol (1961)

Sometimes you need to yell "STOP THE PRESS", that's exactly what happened a few minutes ago; the bossanovadreamer just sent an amazing contribution that I had to change the plans for today. I have been speaking with the bossanovadreamer for some weeks about one of the greatest Brazilian singers that have few releases at Loronix. The bossanovadreamer bought this LP while in Brazil on one of that amazing vinyl shops downtown Rio.

The bossanovadreamer also asked to make this post dedicated to the great Caetano Rodrigues. He said Caetano is providing such great moments to Loronixers and the bossanovadreamer is sending this LP just to please Caetano and give feedback to the great amount of work and gratittude he is making to zeca and all Loronixers, specially the ones who Loves the Bossa Nova. Thanks for everything, Caetano.

This is Lucio Alves - Cantando Depois do Som (1961), for Philips. It is easy to explain how important is Lucio Alves with a single fact: when finishing a record, Joao Gilberto uses to pick up the album to get the blessing of Lucio Alves as the first to hear and give feedback to Joao Gilberto LPs. Maestro Carlos Monteiro de Souza is in charge of orchestra arrangements. Thanks bossanovadreamer, Caetano will be pleased to see your gift to him. Tracks include:

01 - Emília (Wilson Batista / Haroldo Lobo)
02 - Tema Sem Fim (Lúcio Alves)
03 - Madrugada 3 05 (Antônio Maria / Ismael Netto / Reinaldo D. Leme)
