If you visit Loronix first page from this post until the end of first page you will have a very nice panorama of the high quality Brazilian music with Victor Assis Brasil, Lucio Alves, Toquinho, Sergio Mendes, Jongo Trio, Luiz Bonfa, Roberto Menescal and many others. I'm really happy with the last days. We have a set of albums at this first page that are truly great. In the other hand, if you exercise list the ones that are not represented at this first page you will come to a wonderful conclusion: Brazilian music is really awesome, I have no doubts on it.
This is Wanda Sa - Softly! (1966), for Capital (USA). I think Wanda Sa is the missing piece on this first page and overall Loronix records. Wanda performed with Sergio Mendes, Roberto Menescal, Bossa Tres (who has this album with Wanda Sa and Bossa Tres) and this is the perfect moment to show a Wanda Sa solo album. Thanks a million Caetano for this record. Tracks include:
01 - Hô-bá-lá-lá (João Gilberto)
02 - Sweet Happy Lifre (Samba de Orfeu) (Luis Bonfá / Antônio Maria)
03 - Quiet Nights (Corcovado) (Tom Jobim)
04 - Aruanda (Carlos Lyra / Geraldo Vandré)
05 - The Dreamer
06 - Só Danço Samba (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
07 - Once I Loved
08 - Who Knows
09 - Tem Dó (Baden Powell / Vinicius de Moraes)
10 - With Feeling
11 - Água de Beber (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)

This one has been in my collection for a while. Grab it quick!
Zecalauro....I believe that she is Edu Lobo's wife.
Hello, The JaZzmAn,
I'm not the perfect parrot to say it, but I think he is not her husband no more.
I will let with the specialists this time.
Cheers, zeca
Hello Zeca , Hello Jazzman,
yes Edu and Wanda were married (were!)
I love this album as I love Wanda Sa's album Vagamente
Best wishes
'Eles' achavam que o que daria certo comercialmente nos EUA seria uma versão feminina de João Gilberto. Prepararam tudo para Wanda Sá, porém ela chegou atrasada no lance. Um golpe de sorte lançou Astrud, uma desconhecida, que fez a carreira que deveria ser a de Wanda.
