Lindolfo Gaya - Carlos Machado Apresenta, Rio de 400 Janeiros (1965)

Hello, Good Night! This LP is the original soundtrack of a Musical number directed by Carlos Machado and performed in 1965 at The Golden Room of Copacabana Palace Hotel in Rio de Janeiro. Correct me if I'm wrong, but LPs from the 60's with OST are not common, which makes this a wonderful pick.

This is Lindolfo Gaya - Carlos Machado Apresenta, Rio de 400 Janeiros (1965), for Elenco. The last Os Cariocas release, Rio de Quatrocentas Bossas is in the same "spirit" of this one, the celebration of the 400 anniversary of Rio de Janeiro. I'm not sure how hard to find is this LP, but it is one of the most classy and produced Elenco release, beautiful cover artwork with a painting of an early Rio de Janeiro by Rugendas. Front cover and back cover are included in HI-RES. Special attention for the last track, Cidade Maravilhosa, it is the hymn of Rio de Janeiro City. Tracks include:

01 - "Bossa Nova" -- Garota de Ipanema (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes) -- Blues Walk (C. Brown)
02 - Maxixe (Lindolfo Gaya)
03 - Samba do Avião (Tom Jobim)
