Roberto Menescal e Seu Conjunto - Bossa Nova (1964)

One of the benefits of Find It, Loronix application to find posts and records, is the increase of the recommendations sent by Loronixers, especially of essential records that were not made available. I will show now one of these Bossa Nova essential records. The first to mention the need to show this record was bossanovadreamer, followed by Caetano in a matter of days. I do not have this LP and I had the offer from bossanovadreamer and Caetano, deciding by Caetano. This album is really mandatory, as each one released by Roberto Menescal with his Conjunto.

This is Roberto Menescal e Seu Conjunto - Bossa Nova (1964), for Imperial. It is amazing that little is known about this album. The best resource I found is Discos do Brasil of Maria Luiza Kfouri with a detailed listing of musicians for each track. Discos do Brasil also says that Ruy Castro's book Chega de Saudade establishes the recording date as 1962, although 1964 is the date on the record label. Anyway, I will take Discos do Brasil info to build personnel listing and let also a video with Loronixers featuring Roberto Menescal and Wanda Sa, sent by, who guess? Luiz Harding. Tracks include:
