Conjunto Sambacana - Musicas de Pacifico Mascarenhas (1969)

This is a perfect piece if you like to play acoustic guitar around a fire on a camp, no lights, moderate alcohol and, how can I say, girls... The back cover has all 14 songs lyrics and - amazing - tablatures with the harmony of each song ready to play.

This is a LP out of a series of 6 released by Pacifico and his Sambacana. All tracks composed by Pacifico and all songs in A Major, probably to best fit the girls singing or - for some - their lack of talent for singing. Anyway, nice and smooth Bossa Nova Vocal album. The line-up is unknown, but the arrangements are from Roberto Menescal and Hugo Marota. Tracks include:

01 - Pouca Duracao
02 - Amor e Ilusao
03 - Aconteceu
04 - Olhos Feiticeiros
05 - Olhando Estrelas no Ceu
06 - Onibus Colegial
07 - Foi Assim
08 - Se eu Tivesse Coragem
09 - Comecou de Brincadeira
10 - Assim foi o Nosso Amor
11 - Quanto Tempo
12 - Bolo
13 - Mandrake
14 - Amor em Quatro Estacoes
