Dilermando Reis - A Volta ao Mundo com Dilermando Reis (1959)

This parrot needs vacation. This album was perfect to be released on our Music from All Countries celebration, but zecalouro forgot to make it. Big fault, he as two in his collection, he bought the second just to get a better cover artwork, which is really beautiful. Dilermando Reis is considered one of the best violao players in Brazil and this his first album at Loronix, a very late release to fill a missing point. Dilermando Reis has a vast discography and this is one of his first albums.
