Antonio Maria - Historia da Musica Popular Brasileira Nr. 36 (1971)

I'm really amazed by this series of 10-inch released by Abril Cultural in the early 70's as Historia da Musica Popular Brasileira. The first album with made with Billy Blanco had a really positive reaction. The repertoire selection is very well done and the eight-track format provides a really solid listening experience. It is now time to make the second, featuring a very important artist, a songwriter of Bossa Nova tunes that we like most. Let's see.

This is Antonio Maria - Historia da Musica Popular Brasileira Nr. 36 (1971), for Abril Cultural, featuring Antonio Maria compositions performed by Nora Ney, Maria Bethania, Dolores Duran, Joao Gilberto, Os Cariocas, Sylvia Telles and Dircinha Batista. I think this is a nice choice, Antonio Maria had a very important participation on Bossa Nova with no recording releases, let's celebrate Antonio Maria. Tracks include:
