Maria Creuza - Meia Noite com Maria Creuza (1977)

Maria Creuza popularity is growing and the numbers demonstrates it. We had Maria Creuza - Maria Creuza e Os Grandes Mestres do Samba (1975), for the same RCA Victor and it is unbelievable, it was the top downloaded of the whole week, ahead of legends such like Joao Gilberto and others. That's why Maria Creuza is back to Loronix, not with a Samba album, but another beautiful RCA Victor session featuring arrangements and piano of Luiz Eca, Antonio Adolfo and Geraldo Vespar and Luiz Claudio.

This is Maria Creuza - Meia Noite com Maria Creuza (1977), for RCA Victor. It is nice to hear Maria Creuza sweet voice performing a very well selected repertoire of romantic songs. The album starts with a beautiful composition by Caetano Veloso, including several compositions from Antonio Carlos e Jocafi, an Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes medley and the gorgeous track 11 - A Distancia (Roberto Carlos / Erasmo Carlos). Personnel features top-notch musicians and arrangers with studio direction and production by Rildo Hora. Tracks include:
