Laurindo de Almeida - Guitar from Ipanema (1964)

Here we go again, now with a almost forgotten and beautiful LP from Laurindo de Almeida, Guitar from Ipanema (1964).

There is a mix of instrumental - where at his best, Laurindo plays softly his acoustic and electric guitar - and songs from a warm female voice, that is so far unrecognized by this lazy green creature. If this voice is from the lady on the cover, double satisfaction to zecalouro.

An easy and good record, full of well known Bossa Nova tunes, such as: The Girl from Ipanama, Um Abraco no Bonfa, Corcovado, etc.
