Pedrinho Mattar - Bossa Nova (1963)

Let's make our Tribute to Pedrinho Mattar. You remember yesterday that I was sad of do not have any LPs to make the Tribute and that we would make it later. For my surprise, I received a call this morning from Caetano, he was trying to manage a solution for it, since we live on different cities and it was impossible to make it timely.

However, Caetano could manage the situation. He asked for the help of our new friend Claudio Fragnan, probably, the only alternative in Rio de Janeiro for Pedrinho Mattar records. Such like Caetano, Claudio is also a respectable collector with all the records that we have been dreaming on our entire life on his great collection. I just made a phone call to Claudio and he was very pleased to help on making a respectful tribute to Pedrinho Mattar. Additionally, zecalouro and Loronixers found a new friend. Thanks Caetano for introducing Claudio and Thanks Claudio for providing these LPs to Loronixers.

We will focus our tribute with the early Pedrinho Mattar LPs, which are the ones that better fit the kind of music that we appreciate here. This first one is a repost, but you should not miss it. Claudio is a genius on the secrets of transforming vinyl on best of breed digital files. You will be amazed when hearing.
