Waltinho e Seu Conjunto - Magi Ritmo

Here we close the day with another Caetano Rodrigues release, it is not necessary to say that it is a wonderful release. There is a problem with Caetano's release; they are so good that I think that nobody stops to read what zecalouro has to say. Actually, Caetano LPs are so rare and obscure that I cannot find much information available to share with Loronixers. But this is not an issue, it is a wonderful thing, such records are really out of my reach and out of reach of everybody. This is a unique and a once in a lifetime opportunity to listen to this wonderful music that without the effort of friends such like Caetano should be disappeared forever.

That's exactly the situation with this LP, this is Waltinho e Seu Conjunto - Magi Ritmo (N/A), for MagiSom, a nice collection of classic Bossa Nova tunes arranged by Waltinho and performed by his piano and vibraphone and Seu Conjunto. There is also a beautiful and not identified group of singers making nice vocals on each song. Really beautiful, groovy and unique. The cover artwork drags you at a first sight and the music will keep you with Waltinho for days. Thanks Caetano for another great LP. Tracks include:
