Vinicius de Moraes e Toquinho - Toquinho & Vinicius (1974)

Hello, Good Night! What a hot summer day in Rio de Janeiro. I have a problem with high temperatures, maybe my blood pressure falls, I don't known. zecalouro likes that. The days are longer, especially with daylight savings. He uses to take daily baths in summertime, he loves bath. I'm now trying to verse him on classic music and it seems he will become a great enthusiast, especially with the operas that he tries to sing together. It is awesome the extent of the parrot voice, he can do perfect the extreme soprano acute from the deepest baritone bass.

Why I'm telling this kind of story, perhaps the heat is melting my brain, anyway.

The last and first Vinicius de Moraes release was a surprise, great success and acceptance. I was reluctant to release that record, there is a sad atmosphere with that cover that disturbs me. This one is different, all about happiness, meet Vinicius de Moraes e Toquinho - Toquinho & Vinicius (1974), for Philips and produced by Paulinho Tapajos. Vinicius had a long partnership with Toquinho, releasing several records. This released why suggested by SilverSun at Loronix Forum, thanks SilverSun. Tracks include:

Hey,

How are you?

zeca is not a parakeet, it is a Blue-Fronted Amazon with speaking capabilities that are only behind the African Grey.

By the way, I have a video with a Yellow-Nape Amazon singing opera. Once I upload to YouTube I will be back here to show it.

Thanks for commenting. :-)

Cheers, zecalouro
