Sivuca - Sivuca (1979)

It has been a very long time since we made the last album by Sivuca, I'm not taking in consideration his last release with Rildo Hora, I’m talking about a Sivuca career album as main performer. Sivuca is all about Loronix and people always give nice feedback on his music. I think this album will take everybody by surprise, I took a lot of time digging the back cover to find the name of the guy who sings throughout the record and for my surprise, Sivuca sings lyrics and he makes it very beautiful. I hope people get pleased on hearing Sivuca again as I was today.

This is Sivuca - Sivuca (1979), for Copacabana, a great session with the atmosphere of being recorded like a friend's rehearsal. Sivuca has some special guests of note, such as Hermeto Pascoal on tracks Nosso Encontro and Sambura de Peixe Miudo, Glorinha Gadelha, which is Sivuca's wife also takes part at Joao e Maria, Doce Doce and Sambura de Peixe Miudo.
