Lamartine Babo e Varios Artistas - As Mais Famosas Versoes (1960)

Hello, Good Evening! I was missing Copacabana label albums at Loronix, perhaps I got some addiction to them, last week we had a least one album by the powerful Copacabana, one of the greatest Brazilian labels from the 50's to 60's that unfortunately did not kept the good pace in the 70's. In spite of the constellation of renowned artists on the cast, Copacabana also released very creative compilations, celebration albums and tributes, exactly what we have here, an album blending various artists singing Brazilian versions of an international repertoire.

This is Lamartine Babo e Varios Artistas - As Mais Famosas Versoes (1960), for Copacabana, delivering another awesome cover artwork with this album directed by Lamartine Babo. I took a time to decide selecting Lamartine Babo as the main performer, but he performs a song, Tres Palavrinhas (Three Little Words) and is in charge of everything. Three Maestros were selected to make orchestra arrangements, Maestro Pachequinho, Guarana and Renato de Oliveira. The performances were not taken from others albums; all tracks were recorded for this LP. Performers are summarized bellow, just before tracks. Tracks includes:
