Moacyr Marques e Seu Conjunto de Boite - Samba 40 Graus (1961)

Today was easy to make the last pick, no much thinking or suffering to decide. It was wise of zecalouro when he established in the beginning of the day that the last post should be from Caetano's collection. The wonderful cover with the blonde girl holding a sax was also of importance. The bossanovadreamer should enjoy it and the many sax players at Loronix as well.

This is Moacyr Marques e Seu Conjunto de Boite - Samba 40 Graus (1961), for Pawal. This is the kind of record that should fit several interests, there are instrumental performances and some songs with lyrics sung by Moacir Marques itself, which is also known as "Biju". Moacyr Marques is sometimes taken by mistake as Moacyr Silva, the names are very similar and their instrument of choice is the same. Moacyr Marques released 6 LPs with O Conjunto de Boate in the early 60's, taking also part on several records from renowned Brazilian artists. Tracks include:

01 - Castiguei (Jorge Costa / Venâncio)
02 - Lamento da Lavadeira (Monsueto / Nilo Chagas / João Violão)
03 - Vivendo e Aprendendo (Ed Lincoln / Silvio César)
04 - Nossos Momentos (Haroldo Barbosa / Luis Reis)
05 - Seu Amor (Silvio Viana)
06 - A Canção Que Virou Você (Luis Antônio)
07 - In The Mood (A. Razef / J. Garlant)
08 - Eu Não (Waldir Calmon / Ely Campos)
09 - Não Sabemos (Rubens Caruso)
10 - Doralice (Antônio Almeida / Dorival Caymmi)
11 - Água de Beber (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
