Bola Sete - Live at Grace Cathedral (1976)

This post is to make us remember that Brazil has another top-notch guitarist, such like the mighty Luiz Bonfa from yesterday’s release. zecalouro has special admiration by this genius that left Brazil to USA very early and could not be associated with Bossa Nova as his counterparts.

Meet Bola Sete - Live at Grace Cathedral (1976), a live set that was made as a benefit for a hunger organization and an acclaimed album showing Bola Sete on what is considered his best live performance. It is hard to write about something that by definition is exceptional. The last track, Tio George is Bola Sete tribute to his uncle who taught him to play guitar. Tracks include:

01 - Jongo
02 - Gaucho / Meu Ogum
03 - Carnival Nights
04 - Flamenco Fantasy
05 - Ocean Waves (O Mar)
06 - Jongada
07 - O Astronauto
