Cyro Monteiro - Sr. Samba (1961)

Hello, Good Evening! Let's start the Sunday Samba post presenting a Samba legend and his debut LP, Cyro Monteiro, a renowned Samba interpreter, active on recordings since 1936. This 1961 album can be considered a late debut in the format, since the 10-inches age started in the early 50's. Let's see.

This is Cyro Monteiro - Sr. Samba (1961), for Columbia. Sr. Samba has orchestra and choir, both arranged and directed by the great Astor Silva, an artist that deserves a special day at Loronix. Cyro Monteiro performs classic Samba tunes and some compositions by his own. Yesterday we had a day with albums recorded by female singers and today I will try to bring the boys to the spotlight.
