Joao Roberto Kelly - Joao Roberto Kelly (1974)

I spent a great time with Tranka last Friday, he told me that Joao Roberto Kelly is celebrating this month 50th years of a great artist career dedicated to Brazilian music. Joao Roberto Kelly is a great composer, great musician and this is Loronix homage to the 50th anniversary of Joao Roberto Kelly artist career, by the way, today is Saturday and Saturday is Loronix Samba day. Let's see.

This is Joao Roberto Kelly - Joao Roberto Kelly (1974), for Odeon, featuring Joao Roberto Kelly performing the best of his repertoire, including the well-known 06 - Boato, 12 - Gamacao and the track that I like most on this album, available at Loronix Preview Center 10 - Fogo de Palha.
