Orquestra Pan American (Os Cariocas) - Samba Internacional (1959)

Hello, Good Evening! This is now the zecalouro all time favorite LP. He went nuts listening to it. It is a challenge to him listening to Os Cariocas using voice as instruments. Fantastic. zecalouro spent the whole day trying to do the same saying several pa-ra-pa-pa-pas. Tomorrow I will make it again. For the latecomers, it is not myself, I'm talking about the parrot, my pet, Loronix mascot.

This is Orquestra Pan American - Samba Internacional (1959), for Musidisc, another fine Orquestra Pan American (sometimes credited as Pan American Orchestra), which is Os Cariocas with some sisters of Severino Filho.
