Varios Artistas - Bossa Nova 25 Anos (1983)

I'm reposting this album in attention to new Loronixers that should take it as an introductory Bossa Nova record, showing in a glance important Bossa Nova tunes performed by renowned artists. Additionally, cover artwork is upgraded -- front and back covers were missing when first issued at Loronix -- and the music, with major improvements on quality, including the FLAC files alternative.

Bossa Nova 25 Anos was released as a marketing initiative of Coca Cola Beverage Company in Brazil, never made available commercially.

This is Bossa Nova 25 Anos (1983), featuring Elizeth Cardoso, Joao Gilberto, Sylvia Telles, Sergio Ricardo, Agostinho dos Santos, Carlos Lyra, Baden Powell, Tamba Trio, Astrud Gilberto, Stan Getz, Elis Regina, Johnny Alf and Tom Jobim. Self-explanatory album and one of the best Bossa Nova compilations I had the chance to know. Tracks include:
