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
