Claudia - Deixa eu Dizer (1973)

Hello, Good Evening! This is the first out of three non-working days in Brazil. Everybody left the city to quiet places, coming back on Sunday night or Monday. I like these big weekends, people leave to quiet places and Rio de Janeiro stays, how can I say, quiet. I took a time today to climb a military facility close to my place, which is Pedra do Leme. The place has a Fort with several cannons to protect the city. Obviously, the Fort is no longer working, but the military use to put some cannons in service once in a while, such as today. Wow, my ears still have problem by the cannon noise, but the day was really nice. You can follow this link to know more about the spot.

Let's take advantage of these low traffic days to release some very old wants and needs of Loronixers, starting with this one that really worth your attention.

This is Claudia - Deixa eu Dizer (1973), for Odeon.
