Luiz Gonzaga - O Canto Jovem de Luiz Gonzaga (1971)

Hello, good evening! I have to admit that I never took in consideration to show Loronixers the works of Luiz Gonzaga, thanks to friends and their insistent requests for showing that I was totally wrong. We made the first Luiz Gonzaga LP a few weeks ago, a collection, perfect for starters. Now is time to make our next step, getting along with a Luiz Gonzaga career album, a great album by the way with several interest things, beginning with musicians in this session, arrangers and overall concept. Let's see.

This is Luiz Gonzaga - O Canto Jovem de Luiz Gonzaga (1971), for RCA Victor, featuring a constellation of Brazilian musicians with Luiz Gonzaga performing a blend of his compositions with tunes from the new guys, such like: Caetano Veloso, Edu Lobo, Gilberto Gil, Geraldo Vandre and others. Maestro Guerra Peixe, Luiz Eca and H. Silvestre are in charge of arrangements and personnel listing includes important musicians. I think you cannot miss this one. Tracks include:
