Conjunto Copacabana Bossa - Bossa (1966)

Another obscure LP from the 60's, Conjunto Copacabana Bossa - Bossa (1966). Everything I know is that a Brazilian singer, composer and producer called Paulo Tito is leading this set. This is an instrumental LP with a Bossa Nova combo and nice brass section performing versions of Brazilian standards of that time, such as: Jobim, Marcos Valle, Tito Madi, Edu Lobo and others.

There is some bio information on Paulo Tito on Brazilian websites, but I did not find even a single mention of this LP on his discography. The personnel’s listing has been a challenge that I will let with you friends to track down for us. Tracks include:

01 - Arrastão (Edu Lobo / Vinicius de Moraes)
02 - Chuva (Durval Ferreira / Pedro Camargo)
03 - Balanço Zona Sul (Tito Madi)
