I have received this LP from Pablo, the great Argentinean contributor, and kept with me for more than a month. Pablo said that Vinicius de Moraes - Poeta y Amigo | Various Artists (1980), for Philips, was released only in Argentina and Pablo is correct, this LP is exclusive of Argentina and seems to be a tribute to Vinicius de Moraes, the songs are Vinicius de Moraes compositions performed by several artists, such as Toquinho, Chico Buarque, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Nara Leao, Baden Powell, Quarteto em Cy among others.It is a beautiful LP, excellent for those who are looking for a Vinicius de Moraes panorama. There is an instrumental track performed by Sergio Mendes with Bossa Rio, Ella es Carioca, credited by mistake as Bossa Trio. Lalo Schifrin also has a stake, closing the album with Insensatez. Tracks include:
01 - Samba para Vinicius - Toquinho y Chico Buarque
02 - Ella es Carioca - Sergio Mendes y Bossa Trio
03 - Modinha - Elis Regina
04 - Samba de Regresso - Vinicius y Toquinho
05 - Maria Marta - Nara Leao
06 - Samba de Bendicion - Vinicius y Quarteto em Cy
07 - La Chica de Ipanema - Antonio Carlos Jobim
08 - Olha Maria - Chico Buarque
09 - Canto de Ossanha - Baden Powell
10 - Soneto de Reparacion - Elis Regina y Tom Jobim
11 - Tarde de Itapoa - Toquinho
12 - Insensatez - Lalo Schifrin

This is so beautiful. I love "Samba para Vinicius", even if I don't understand all of the lyrics. The love is so strongly conveyed in that song.
I'm also glad to see Chico Buarque's version of "Olha Maria" included. I have this elsewhere in my collection, and I think it's a masterpiece (even if it does borrow the same arrangement as Jobim's version on "Terra Brasilis").
Anyway, I think I have most of these tracks in my collection already, but I must say this is a fantastic selection for a triibute compilation. Many thanks to the beautiful green bird, and of course to Pablo in Argentina!
This is a real gift for all planet lovers of the "authentic bossa nova"; a rich brazilian music period, unfortunately no more available. Thanks for this precious piece of jewellery.
Can you put it again..rapidhares' file already expired...in the name of Vinicius...please
Hi zecaluro! Just a note that this album was also released in Uruguay.
I purchased a copy this week that was printed in Uruguay, has 1979 as the year and has a different back cover (in black & white). It has the same Philips cat# and the only difference on the front cover is the cat# is printed above the Philips logo the same way it is on the back cover.
Track listing and order is exactly the same. Here is a partial scan:

Hello,
This is a really beautiful album and this Uruguayan issue is something that I did not know.
I remember this copy was from a friend from Argentina. It is good to see how music connects us all.
Thanks for commenting and for the scan.
Kind regards,
zeca
