Os Vocalistas Modernos - Os Vocalistas Modernos Novamente em Foco (1960)

It is unbelievable that Loronix is making the release of the second LP of this unique vocal group from the early 60's. Their debut LP was released here two or three months ago, by that time, everybody had a lot of fun with it, let's what happens now.

With the great help of Caetano Rodrigues, zecalouro presents, Os Vocalistas Modernos - Os Vocalistas Modernos Novamente em Foco (1960), for Philips, released few months before the debut LP. Os Vocalistas Modernos are five girls, Ivone, Odalea, Vera, Consuelo and Marly, and four guys, Edgardo, Cosme, Abelardo and Emmanuel. Carlos Monteiro de Souza is in charge of the arrangements. Phillips, on both linear notes, do the best to make you believe that Os Vocalistas Modernos are the "future of the modern Brazilian music", but apparently, they made only a third LP in 1961 before disappearing. Anyway, if you miss the first, have a try, it is a very nice LP. Tracks include:

02 - Samba de Uma Nota Só (Tom Jobim / Newton Mendonça)
