This album is well known by many friends of zecalouro and it is so wonderful that deserves a place at Loronix. Samba Blim was recorded during the time Tamba Trio was expanded to a quartet - that's why they change from Tamba Trio to Tamba 4. The first out of two albums they made in the US for A&M.As zecalouro explained on an earlier post, Tamba Trio was Luiz Eça (piano), Bebeto (bass) and Helcio Milito (drums) and the expanded Tamba 4 was Luiz Eça and Bebeto plus Dorio Ferreira (bass) and Ohana (drums).
Unfortunately both albums for A&M - Samba Blim and We and the Sea - failed commercially. Amazing, since Samba Blim is an essential masterpiece.
