Tom & Dito - Reverterio (1976)

Hello, good evening! This is the second appearance of Tom & Dito at Loronix. The first was a long time ago, in the very first beginning, one of the first albums made available here. Unfortunately, the first album is no longer available, and it was a very successful release. I had the idea to show this album when I received today a message from Thomas Fawcett, which is the owner and maintainer of a new website devoted to the music from Brazil from the 1970's, Brazil Soul Power.

I would like to take Thomas' introductory words and his enthusiastic definition of Brazil Soul Power. And I would like also to say that another Brazilian music resource is about to go live in less than 72 hours with full coverage at Loronix. Stay tuned and let's read Thomas value proposition. Let's see.

"Ola! I've been a fan of Loronix for a long time and wanted to share with you a web site I've been working on for awhile. It's called Brazil Soul Power and tells the story of soul music in 1970's Brazil. It features interviews with Gerson King Combo, Hyldon, Luis Vagner, Eduardo Araujo, Carlos Dafe, Uniao Black e mais. Check it out when you get a chance!"

This is Tom & Dito - Reverterio (1976), for Continental. Little I know about this album and this Duo, but they are backed by the best of breed Brazilian musicians of that time, including a surprising participation of the legendary Moacyr Silva at personnel listing and other really important musicians, such like: Mauricio Einhorn, Raymundo Bittencourt, Gilson Peranzzetta, Aurino, Helcio Milito, Marcio Montarroyos and many others. I wish a very nice weekend to everybody. Tracks include:
