Jair Rodrigues - Jair de Todos os Sambas (1969)

Hello, Good Night! This year is running fast, in my perception, Christmas was yesterday and Carnaval is just knowing at the door, starting next Saturday. In Brazil, Carnaval is an amazing party; we have a really big weekend, starting on Saturday ending on Wednesday. Five days of resting for the ones who resist to engage Samba and 5 days of party to those who were born with "Samba no Pe!" zecalouro will try to show at least a record per day that can be used in Carnaval and this is the first one, by the one a really nice one.

Opps! I forgot to say that Carnaval is a golden time for Brazilian musicians, their activity has a peak during these days where several clubs present live shows all around the country. I hope Brazilian musicians make a great Carnaval, as usual.

This is Jair Rodrigues - Jair de Todos os Sambas (1969), for Philips. I don't know Jair Rodrigues discography from start to end, but I think this is one of his best albums, pretty solid with several Samba songs that I could heard and remember again when I took this LP for a hearing, such as Bahia de Todos os Deuses, Casa de Bamba, Pra que Dinheiro and others. If you are planning to make a Carnival party, this record will never leave your equipment. Tracks include:
