Carlos Monteiro de Souza e Seu Conjunto - Pra Frente (1968)

Hello! Good Night. I'm happy with the idea of showing Loronixers how easy is to make comments. The best ideas are those that come out of the blue. I think that less the 10% of Loronixers could watch the video already, and so far we have comments from friends that never had the chance to write before. Thanks for supporting the ideas of this crazy parrot.

Let's start the day with an album that has been here for a long time and I could only remember with the help of Quimsy, the mighty owner and maintainer of Quimsy at http://quimsy.blogspot.com.

This is Carlos Monteiro de Souza e Seu Conjunto - Pra Frente (1968), for Parlophone, featuring Maestro Carlos Monteiro de Souza with no orchestra this time, but accompanied by a combo. Little is know about this LP from the nice Parlophone label with their easy to identify albums with the big P on cover. Caetano will be pleased with this post, although the chance of this record been missed from his great collection is less than 0,5%. Tracks include:

01 - Estamos Aí (Maurício Einhorn / Durval Ferreira / Regina Werneck)
02 - O Cantador (Dori Caymmi / Nelson Motta)
03 - Carolina (Chico Buarque)
04 - Samba do Avião (Tom Jobim)
05 - Roda (Gilberto Gil / João Augusto)
06 - Linhas Cruzadas (Roberto Menescal)
07 - Samba de Verão (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle)
08 - Tim Dom Dom (João Mello / Codó)
09 - Manhã de Primavera (Adilson Godoy)
10 - Travessia (Milton Nascimento / Fernando Brant)
11 - Mancada (Gilberto Gil)
12 - Sambou Sambou (João Mello / João Donato)
