The Norman Luboff Choir - The Latin Luboff (1965) featuring the guitar of Laurindo Almeida

This is the Christmas gift zecalouro received from Caetano Rodrigues. What a gift! Classy, elegant and with a beautiful cover. Thanks Caetano for this LP.

We are talking about The Normal Luboff Choir - The Latin Luboff (1965), for RCA Victor, twelve well-known songs arranged for voice and orchestra with the participation of Laurindo Almeida and his guitar in all tracks. Beautiful, Laurindo makes the difference on this record with his gentle and intimistic guitar playing, making the perfect background and introductions on each track.

Normal Luboff and his Choir is among the most popular choral ensembles of the 50's and 60's, releasing a series of albums during this period. In this LP, the Choir is composed by twenty voices, 12 boys and 8 girls.
