Among the last contributions by the great Caetano Rodrigues, this one is making a great success here. I decided to give a break to zecalouro - the parrot - studies on classics to give him a chance to hear something popular and dancing, since he has been alone some hours during the days this year. zeca is addicted to this LP.This is Maestro Portinho e Sua Orquestra - Fogo nos Metais (1963), for Philips. zeca seems to understand that we have here Maestro Portinho doing his best, which is the perfect mix of Samba rhythms with orchestral arrangements.
