Leny Eversong - Leny Eversong na America do Norte (1957) featuring Neal Hefti Orchestra

Hello, Good Evening! Today we had the opening ceremony of Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro. Brazilian and Cariocas are giving a great support to the event. If everything running accordingly, the chances of Brazil on hosting the 2016 Olympic games increases. The ceremony has just finished and it seems everybody was watching it on TV. From the historical 160 visits per hour, our numbers dropped to just 111 visits. Anyway, the show must go on and the day starts at Loronix, starts solid with this very interesting album.

This is Leny Eversong - Leny Eversong na America do Norte (1957), for Copacabana, original released in US as Leny Eversong - Introducing Leny Eversong (1957), for Coral. This is also the first Leny Eversong 12-inch, following her first 10-inch, recently released at Loronix as A Voz de Leny Eversong (1955). This album was a jointly contribution from Daniel Vernhes and Caetano Rodrigues. Daniel sent the Coral issue and Caetano the Copacabana issue, both covers looks very similar.
