Antonio Carlos & Jocafi - Ossos do Oficio (1975)

Hello, good evening! I had 10 when this album was released in 1975, and after decades, I know by heart this title track, Ossos do Oficio. I can also remember the lyrics of their most popular songs released on their previous albums, since 1971, such like, Voce Abusou, Toro de Lagrimas, Desacato and Mudei de Ideia. This is just to make you understand the great popularity this duo had in the beginning of the 1970’s. Pop stars, internationally recognized as icons of a decade, not only for his music, but also by their attitude, way of dressing and so on. Let’s see.

This is Antonio Carlos e Jocafi – Ossos do Oficio (1975), for RCA Victor, featuring Ossos do Oficio, one of the most famous Antonio Carlos e Jocafi tune. I take a look today at Antonio Carlos e Jocafi albums availability at Amazon and I was surprised to do not see a single career album available for purchase. Correct if I’m wrong, but Ossos do Oficio never had a CD reissue and it is probably unknown for many friends. Once again, RCA Victor excels, delivering a very well recorded album, arranged and performed by renowned musicians. Tracks include:
