Moreira da Silva - Malandro Diferente (1961)

I have been looking for this album for quite a long time. Not this one, but any of the few albums recorded by Moreira da Silva for Odeon at the late 50's to early 60's. Perhaps you will feel not comfortable to see two "Da Silva" and two "Malandros" in a row, but they are very different artists. Moreira da Silva - Malandro Diferente was recorded in 1961, with the same concept, lyrics with chronicle of Rio de Janeiro city. However, Moreira da Silva had a very different Rio de Janeiro, with no violence and drugs available and he performs Samba on a very unique way. Let's see.

This is Moreira da Silva - Malandro Diferente (1961), for Odeon, featuring Moreira da Silva, the undisputed king of malandragem carioca also known as Kid Morengueira. Moreira da Silva career spans decades, starting in 1932 with the recording of his first 78rpm, being active until 2000, the year of his passing with 98 years. I hope you have the same pleasure I had today hearing this very old album by Moreira da Silva. Tracks include:
