Carlos Lyra - 25 Anos de Bossa Nova (1987)

This is the kind of album that several Loronixers have been asking, not this one specifically, but something that could capture a live and late Bossa Nova gig on a small place. I’m happy to present this one, here for months, but with no chance to make it. Today it is the time. Let's see.

This is Carlos Lyra - 25 Anos de Bossa Nova (1987), for the never heard before 3M label. Although released 20 years ago, here at Loronix we can say this is a late live recording. 25 Anos de Bossa was recorded in Jazzmania, a nightclub in Rio de Janeiro, capturing Carlos Lyra on a very relaxed set, talking with the audience, telling stories from the past and performing the best of his repertoire to a small group that gives a great feedback from start to end. It is the kind of show that you wish you were there. Tracks include:
