Viva Voz - Viva Voz (1979)

Hello, Good Evening! I want to make a great start today showing a vocal group from the late 70's that is probably widely unknown among Loronixers. I don't have this album and I would be very glad if someone takes nice cover scans to update this post later. These six friends are truly amazing and they are backed up by a constellation of Brazilian musicians, let's see.

This is Viva Voz - Viva Voz (1979), for Odeon. Viva Voz is a vocal group, active from 1979 until 1984. They started as a sextet leaded by Ary Sperling, having several different formations during their five years of activity. I don't know their second album, but this first is really above the average. Tracks include:
