J.T. Meirelles e Sua Orquestra - Brazilian Beat Vol. 2 (1967)

Hello, Good Night! The album I was looking for has finally arrived. I'm talking about something that blends the music we like with Carnaval rhythms. I know there are many ones, but I'm really happy to make this one available instead of something disconnected from Loronix. A great Maestro on Carnaval, let's see what happens.

This is J.T. Meirelles e Sua Orquestra - Brazilian Beat Volume 2 (1967), for London. Meirelles starts with a batucada, not a song, following with nice orchestra renditions to well known "marchinhas and ends with two Bossa Nova classics by Antonio Carlos Jobim. Tracks include:

01 - Ritmo
02 - Madureira Chorou (Carvalhinho / Julio Monteiro)
03 - Nega do Cabelo Duro (Rubens Soares / David Nasser)
04 - Praça Onze (Herivelto Martins / Grande Otelo)
05 - Máscara Negra (Zé Keti / Pereira Matos)
06 - A Banda (Chico Buarque)
07 - Marchinha do Grande Galo (Lamartine Babo / Paulo Barbosa)
08 - Allah-la-ô (Antônio Nássara / Haroldo Lobo)
09 - Cidade Maravilhosa (André Filho)
10 - Mas Que Nada (Jorge Ben "Jorge Benjor")
11 - Garota de Ipanema (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
12 - Desafinado (Tom Jobim / Newton Mendonça)
