Varios Artistas - The Vocal Groups Happen to Bossa Nova

Hello, Good Evening! Starting with a great announcement, which is the arrival of another set of contribution by Caetano Rodrigues. I think Loronixers were missing the always-nice music Caetano provides. I was missing and Caetano sent several surprises this time, such as this compilation prepared by him featuring several vocal groups and their renditions to Bossa Nova standards. Let's see.

This is The Vocal Groups Happen to Bossa Nova - A Compilation by Caetano Rodrigues, featuring 17 Bossa Nova standards performed by The HI-LO's, The Gals and Pals, The Manhattan Transfer, The Freshman, among many other vocal groups. I took it for a listen today and Caetano made a really nice compilation. However (I need to say this), I miss Os Cariocas. I really miss Os Cariocas. They are really THE BEST. Tracks include:
