Isaura Garcia & Walter Wanderley - Sambas na Madrugada (1963)

Isaura Garcia was an important Samba interpreter recording several albums, from 78rpms to LPs. She was also married with the Brazilian organist Walter Wanderley, which is the kind of musician that seems to do not miss any opportunity to go inside a recording set. I think Caetano sent to us the best Isaura Garcia album so far with the accompaniment of her husband, Walter Wanderley.

This is Isaura Garcia & Walter Wanderley - Sambas na Madrugada (1963), for Odeon. Walter Wanderley is brings his group to this set, but musicians are not credited. Isaura Garcia performs a traditional Samba repertoire with some boleros. The blend of her classic interpretation with Walter Wanderley swinging Hammond B3, adds a lot of charm to Sambas da Madrugada. If I'm not wrong they made together three albums for Odeon label and Samba da Madrugada is their last collaboration. Tracks includes:

01 - Samba da Madrugada (Carminha Mascarenhas / Dora Lopes / Herotides Nascimento)
02 - Ah Se Eu Pudesse (Roberto Menescal / Ronaldo Bôscoli)
03 - Teus Versos (Carlito Cavalcanti / Sergio Porto)
04 - Roseira Que Não Dá Rosa (Denis Brean / Osvaldo Guilherme)
