Putte Wickman & Sivuca - Putte & Sivuca (1969)

Some Loronix friends were asking for a Sivuca LP recorded in 1969 in collaboration with the Jazz clarinetist Putte Wickman. This is Putte & Sivuca (1969). Putte Wickman was born in Sweeden, his destiny was established by his parents that hope he would become a Laywer. For one of those facts that changes an entire life, Putte's mother gave in at the age of 15 a clarinet.

Putte is one of those self-taught musicians that never had formal education on his instrument. Putte & Sivuca set had Sivuca (guitar, acordeon, vocal), Putte Wickman (clarinet), Bengt Lindqvist (Organ), Sture Nordin (bass) and Nils Erik Slörner (drums). Tracks include:
