Pedrinho Rodrigues e Os Nacionais - Estao Voltando os Bons Tempos (1973)

Today is Saturday and every Saturday starts with Samba at Loronix and even if you are not in the mood for Samba today you should not ignore this album. Starting by the beautiful cover artwork, everything works nice here. This is the first Pedrinho Rodrigues album with his accompaniment band Os Nacionais at Loronix, do not miss his first two albums recorded in the 60's that are already available at Loronix.

This is Pedrinho Rodrigues e Os Nacionais - Estao Voltando os Bons Tempos (1973), for Equipe. The third out of five albums recorded with Os Nacionais, I do not have the others and if they are on the average of this one, we have other four nice Samba albums to track down.
