Walter Wanderley - Rain Forest (1966)

This amazing cover shows a Toucan, a Ramphastos. They are not social like zecalouro but are really beautiful. Perhaps only a few Loronixers had the chance to touch a Toucan and take a closer look. An angry Toucan can make serious injury to each other when there are fertile females around. Their beautiful big peak is hot like the body with a thin tongue.

Well, this is a music blog and zecalouro is going nuts! Let's go back to business...

Meet Walter Wanderley, 1966, Rain Forest, the first album recorded with his Trio - Walter Wanderley, Claudio Slon (drums) and Jose Marino (bass) in the US featuring also US musicians. This is his best-known record, and one of Bossa Nova essentials. We will find all those famous Bossa Nova songs from the 60’s; such like Summer Samba, Samba do Aviao, Saudade Querida and others.
