Toquinho - Toquinho Tocando (1977)

The big butterfly stills watching me. She did not make a single move in the last four hours. I'm waiting for her next move, if there will be a move, anyway. People who monitor CBox, also known as "Quadradinho", will remember the Loronixers Stuart, asking several times for this record, while some other friends, such like Adrian from Argentina were also urging it. Caetano had this LP on his short list to be included on the next package, but the situation is ideal to make it today.

Everybody should thank the legendary Marcelo Munhoz for this post and also the big butterfly. Marcelo just sent this record in the afternoon and as I'm not moving to pick up others albums in the house, Marcello's contribution is handy at this time. By the way, Marcelo Munhoz is a musician and member of Sambasonics, a well-known Brazilian Samba Rock band. Marcelo / Sambasonic CD was released in Japan and is available at the Amazon link that closes this post.

This is Toquinho - Toquinho Tocando (1977), for Philips, featuring Toquinho playing instrumental music, such like his debut album for RGE. If you know Toquinho only by his collaborations with Vinicius de Moraes, it is time to get in touch with Toquinho as an acoustic guitar virtuoso surrounded by renowned musicians, such as: Dino Sete Cordas, Paulo Moura, Azeitona, Jorginho, among others.
