Robert Rutz e Seu Orgao Maravilhoso - Latino

It has been a month or two since we made the first album by this mysterious organist that uses the alias of Roberto Rutz. I thought that was the first and only album by this artist and I was wrong, here we go on another Roberto Rutz album, now by a different label, Tropicana. According with Bossanov, Roberto Rutz is the alias used by the Brazilian organist Celso Murilo. Anyway, it is another chance to find out Bossanov hint. Let's see.

This is Roberto Rutz e Seu Orgao Maravilhoso - Latino (no date), for Tropicana. Mr. Rutz delivers groovy Hammond B3 renditions of Boleros, Rumbas and other Latin music, including two Bossa Nova standards, Desafinado and Garota de Ipanema. Personnel is not credited and the back cover brings something really unique, a serial number printed by Tropicana, which is 3014. This is something for completionists and fans of Celso Murilo. Tracks include:

01 - Perfidia (A. Dominguez)
02 - Garota de Ipanema (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
03 - Cuando Calienta El Sol (C. Rigual / M. Rigual)
