Cyro Monteiro - Meu Samba, Minha Vida (1969)

Hello, Good night! Let's start the day with a Mr. X. contribution and also a singer that is being released for the first time at Loronix on a solo LP, this is Cyro Monteiro - Meu Samba, Minha Vida (1969), for Copacabana.

Meu Samba, Minha Vida was made on two different recording sessions with a one-year interval between both. The reason for this interruption was the passing of Astor Silva, musical director and trombonist for this session. This first recording session had also the participation of O Regional de Canhoto.

The second recording session had also the participation of O Regional de Canhoto on two tracks, Raul de Barros as trombonist and Dino and Meira as violonists.
