Os Biriba Boys - Biribalanco (1965)

Here is a nice little record sent by Caetano Rodrigues. I said little by the duration, 10 songs and less than 30 minutes, but the music is great, performed by an instrumental group never released before at Loronix. If you are in the mood to hear Hammond B3 organ, blended with a brass section of sax, trombone, piston and clarinet, this is the record for you.

This is Os Biriba Boys - Biribalanco (1965), for Musidisc. Actually, there are some tracks with vocals performed by a crooner, but Biribalanco is essentially an instrumental album. The cover alone worth the admission price and I could not resist to show at post closing a panorama photo of Rio de Janeiro, sent by my friend c.a.t. from O Globo. Please tell me if you think this panorama image damage your experience at Loronix. Rio de Janeiro is wonderful and I feel proud on showing this city at Loronix. Tracks include:
