Os Cariocas - A Bossa dos Cariocas (1963)

Hello, Good Night! Another hot night, hot as the last 30 days in Rio de Janeiro. Today is the thirty-day with no rain. Life changes without the rain. Rio de Janeiro is one of a few selected cities in the world that has a forest inside the urban area, the famous Floresta da Tijuca. With no rain, fire starts easy and every time on Floresta da Tijuca, burning nature and killing birds and other species as well. The weather forecasts rain to this weekend. We should be also prepared to cope with this rain. Let's start today with a Mr. W. contribution, showing one the most loved Bossa Nova vocal group that has not be released for a while.
