Alberto Mota e Seu Conjunto - Voa Meu Samba (1961)

I was silly to go down to make the rain coverage to Loronixers, so stupid that I forgot to pick up the camera to take some pictures. The rain was huge. The cars parked on buildings with garage on the basement, bellow sea level were such like submarines, with only the roof out of the water level.

Excited, I moved away to my place to check everything, when another shower starts, strong as the last one. I ran like a rabbit stopping in the middle with a great doubt, do we get more water running at the rain or walking? Who knows this answer? Just in case if happens again, I think the one who runs get more water in the face.

Anyway, this is Alberto Mota e Seu Conjunto - Voa Meu Samba (1961), for Polydor. Once again, a cover with an airplane, it seems that Brazilian music had a good partnership with the airlines in the past. Some old LPs does not have planes at the front cover such like this one, but sometimes the airline business appears very frequently at the back cover.

This is the debut LP of the Brazilian pianist Alberto Mota that release another three LPs, the last one in 1966. I could not search if Alberto Mota took another direction on his career before this last LP.
