Boogaloo Combo - Com Muito Ritmo (1972)

Perhaps this is the most obscure and unknown LP by a group available so far at Loronix, Boogaloo Combo - Com Muito Ritmo (1972), perhaps everybody knows this LP and zecalouro is writing rubbish again. Anyway, this is a nice instrumental LP from the 70's by Boogaloo Combo, essential to any serious collector and mandatory for those who track down Brazilian Bossa Soul records.

Don't let the baby at the cover cheat you as he did with me, this is music for grownups. Guess who is behind this post? A feathered bird like me, but not green, blue. The mighty Arara Azul is the guy who should receive all the credits for this post. Thanks a million Arara Azul. Tracks include a version of Hot Pants Road that you should not miss.
