Heitor Villa Lobos - Cancoes de Cordialidade | Poesias de Manuel Bandeira

Hello, good evening! Daylight savings is over in Brazil and this is a major change, at least for me. If you have a pet, especially birds, you will understand what I'm saying. I went out of routine today, deciding to make some housekeeping on books and LPs and this single is the outcome of this work. I found it inside an old encyclopedia and I cannot remember who had the great idea of hiding a Villa Lobos single inside a book. Anyway, I hope he gets a brand new life at Loronix after being inside a book across decades. Let's see.

This is Heitor Villa Lobos - Cancoes de Cordialidade | Poesias de Manuel Bandeira (no date), for Caravelle, featuring on Side A, Cancoes de Cordialidade, a set of six songs composed by Villa Lobos with lyrics by Manuel Bandeira in 1945, performed here by Coro da Radio Ministerio de Educacao e Cultura with direction by Maestro Isaac Karabitschevsky. Side B brings Turibio Santos and Oscar Caceres performing as a duo two Villa Lobos compositions, Lenda do Caboclo and Ciranda Nr. 2, which is the one available at Loronix Preview Center.
