Joyce - Feminina (1980)

It is very hard to speak about this record, one of the first albums made available at Loronix. I think since then he has reached his goal, being important to bring new people to our community, to reveal Joyce for many people, especially outside Brazil. Just use Google to concatenate "Joyce" "feminina" and "Loronix" that will be easy to understand what I am saying. The outcome of this search brings enthusiastic testimonials about Feminina, in fact a really nice record. This is incredible, makes me feel that Loronix creates demand, a new audience for Brazilian music. I only regret that since the first post in July 2006, Feminina has not been reissued. Let's see.

This is Joyce - Feminina (1980), for Odeon, featuring only Joyce compositions, Joyce arrangements and a constellation of Brazilian musicians. Joyce and Feminina is a favorite of many Loronixers and I think I said everything I want in the first paragraph. Stay with Joyce, in peace and have a nice Thursday. Tracks include:
