A Cor do Som - Transe Total (1980)

A couple of weeks ago we released an album of a Brazilian instrumental jazz fusion band recorded in Montreux Jazz Festival, by that time, I though that A Cor do Som was retired since their last album released in 1986, but I heard they are back to business and had already recorded a DVD. Many friends in Brazil of my generation have very good memories of this band and I think we will not go wrong with them to start today. This cover is all about the new Loronix design with a logo full of colors. Let's see.

This is A Cor do Som - Transe Total (1980), for WEA. Perhaps the most successful album released by A Cor do Som, featuring tracks with lyrics and some instrumental themes, which are the ones that I like most. The tracks with lyrics were blockbusters in 1980 and my highlights go to O Palco, the definitive rendition of this Gilberto Gil song, Zanzibar and Semente do Amor. Transe Total has the participation of Nivaldo Ornellas, Oswaldinho do Acordeon, Mauro Senise, Jorginho among many other special guests. Tracks include:
