Luiz Henrique - Barra Limpa (1967)

I have been receiving some requests to post this LP, Luiz Henrique - Barra Limpa (1967), the last out of three released for Verve on Luiz Henrique USA years. As a matter of fact, zecalouro spoke a lot about Luiz Henrique on his last Loronix releases but forgot to say something that - I don't know why - is considered amazing by everybody. Luiz Henrique had, how could I say in English, a love affair with Liza Minelli.

Barra Limpa is a mellow Bossa Jazz LP that you will enjoy, with most songs with English lyrics. The set has Luiz Henrique and Sivuca at the accordion among others American musicians. If Barra Limpa catches you up, send greetings to the Bossanovadreamer and Cezar Saldanha, both cried today for Barra Limpa at CBox. Tracks include:

01 - Listen To Me
02 - Vivo Sonhando
03 - If You Want To Be a Lover
04 - O Morro -- Samba do Orfeu -- Mas Que Nada
05 - Minha Lagoa
06 - A Waltz For Diane
07 - Reza
08 - Mas Que Qada
09 - Alicinha
10 - I Know You Go For Me
11 - A Trip To Brazil
