Don Junior e Seu Sax Maravilhoso, Conjunto e Orquestra - Sambas Nr. 2 (1963)

Hello, Good Night! I don't want to bother everybody with these off-topic issues, but I cannot start today without telling how awful my Internet connection is since yesterday nights. I'm unable to upload big files and the start of the collaboration with Loronixers to create our discography is being postponed. I'm not sad, only amazed and really surprised with such long outage, spoiling Loronix a little bit and my living with a great impact.

Anyway, I'm happy to be here with you to start another day of great Caetano music, as Caetano's days always uses to be. This is the record that I have been postponing daily, so I decided to make it happen as the first one just to guarantee.

This is Don Junior e Seu Sax Maravilhoso, Conjunto e Orquestra - Sambas Nr. 2 (1963), for RGE. Musicians on the recording session are not credit, but everybody knows that Don Junior is the might Argentinean born sax player Hector Costita with the supervision and musical direction of Maestro Pocho, also known as Ruben Perez.
