Joao Gilberto | 78rpm Copacabana - 096 (1952)

This album came to my attention by the writing of our friend Jorge, from Juazeiro, Bahia, which is the place where Joao Gilberto was born. Jorge said Joao Gilberto recorded this 78rpm just before he left Garotos da Lua in 1952. Thanks for the hint, Jorge, Joao Gilberto sings on a totally different manner on this little record, he uses his voice such like Orlando Silva, Francisco Alves or any other singer with that "Big" voice from the 40's. Let's see.

This is Joao Gilberto | 78rpm - Copacabana 096 (1952), the second Joao Gilberto album, featuring two songs, Quando Ela sai and Meia Luz. Truly amazing record, Joao Gilberto singing on a very different way here. Tracks include:

01 - Quando Ela Sai (Alberto Jesus / Alberto Penteado)
02 - Meia Luz (Hianto de Almeida / Joao Luiz)
