Rogerio Duprat - Os Imortais, Os Mestres de Sempre na "Bossa" de Hoje (N/A)

Hello, Good Night! I had a nice time yesterday at the phone with the mighty Claudia B from Cantos e Encantos about this cover. We were trying to realize together what they meant by putting the "formal" Carlos Gomes head at the left and the girl dressed like a waiter with no paints at the right. Actually, we had a lot of fun with this cover.

Thanks Claudia B for making this LP available from your great collection, I hope you don't get made with the green parrot, since I'm posting it without saying to you. Abracadabra-BR has also published this LP a couple of days ago. I could not resist. This is Rogerio Duprat - Os Imortais, Os Mestres de Sempre na "Bossa" de Hoje (N/A), for the obscure VS/Vilela Santos, a very early Duprat recording, probably his first solo LP.

Os Imortais is an orchestra LP, conducted and arranged by Rogerio Duprat, classical performances with the Bossa Nova accent. Great curiosity. Thanks Claudia B. Tracks include:
