Som Ambiente - Som Ambiente (1972)

I made some research about this LP almost a year ago and for an unknown reason I forgot its existence to consider as a post. Came back to memory last year, actually, last Friday, and it is so cool that I decided to show to Loronixer with no other additional research.

Maybe I'm wrong but, Som Ambiente - Som Ambiente (1972), for CID, is in fact some sort of Azymuth embryo/early stage. I'm not sure about the whole personnel listing, but I have the assumption that Jose Roberto Bertrami organ can be heard in all tracks. The back cover says that Durval Ferreira is in charge of Artistic Direction. Another curiosity about this LP is a supposed photo of the legendary Marcos Valle at the front cover, that guy on a restaurant with a girl. If any Loronix friend has additional info about this release, please let us know. Tracks include:

01 - O Bofe (Erasmo Carlos / Roberto Carlos)
