Os Saxsambistas Brasileiros - Percusao em Festa

Hello, Good Night! I have been learning a lot with Loronix, I hope that everybody has learned something new about Brazilian music here. This is a great pay back to all the effort and dedication we put together at Loronix, from all sides of this website. One of the things that I learn here and became fanatic is to understand each record label profile. They are many and each one has its own modus operandi. I would like someday to see on a chart all these recording companies placed along a timeline, just to understand merges, acquisitions and everything that happened within the industry since the beginning.

I think I'm starting the day nuts. Anyway, this is another record from Plaza. This record company is different. Plaza lists all personnel on the set, in the other hand, does not specifies the release date.

This is Os Saxsambistas Brasileiros - Percussao em Festa (no date), for Plaza, featuring top-notch musicians on the set, which is something that we are already used to see on every Os Saxsambistas Brasileiros LP. Take a time to see the cover full of scratches, missing border pieces, etc. Mr. Five, the mighty owner of Mr. Five Music (http://blogspot.mrfivemusic.com), has gently used his graphic capabilities to make a "clean" version of this cover. Since I'm a disaster on these graphics programs and I cannot count with the help of friends on every cover, I decided to keep it "dirty" as it is. At least it shows us some history from a piece of paper that has been on earthy for more than 40 years. Tracks include:
