Sambossa 5 - Zero Hora (1966)

Hello, Good Night! Actually we will have an excellent night. The awaited contributions of our great friend Caetano Rodrigues, author of the book Bossa Nova e Outras Bossas and responsible for launching several forgotten Brazilian music LPs from the Bossa Nova age has finally arrived. Breathtaking this time. You will not believe what is scheduled for the forthcoming days at Loronix. I'm speechless. I have the privilege to see all the LPs together on a single day and I'm also very proud of being responsible to share such amazing music with Caetano.

I don't have words to express my gratitude to Caetano Rodrigues for the music that he shares with us, Caetano puts his time and resources available to Loronixers as a work of love, love that he have to the music from Brazil, during a life-time and we should give feedback accordingly. Here is mine, take also the chance to please Caetano with your feedback when hearing this outstanding record, recommended by Caetano at the MD cover at your right and personally today. Thanks friend.

This is Sambossa 5 - Zero Hora (1966), for RCA Victor, easily, the best Samba Jazz album I have ever heard in my whole life, a really great surprise. Caetano is amazed with Zero Hora, I'm astonished and all Loronixers that has been asking for this LP, such as bossanovadreamer, JimR, Joe Carter and many others should also be paralyzed. I'm not on a good shape today, so I will be straightforward sometimes, Caetano's music is self-explanatory and this is a great advantage. Tracks include:
