Òswaldo Borba e Sua Orquestra - Baile de Formatura (1958)

Hello, good evening! We never started a day late as today, but the reason is not an ordinary IT problem and I'm really glad for being here to introduce new music to Loronixers, such as I'm doing right now, delivering the first album of a very important Brazilian maestro to our community, which is Maestro Oswaldo Borba. Let's see.

This is Oswaldo Borba e Sua Orquestra - Baile de Formatura (1958), for Odeon. I had to do my best to restore this cover artwork, and I did not make it as deserved. I'm sure my poor skills on image processing are getting worse again. Anyway, as you can see at the marks on the legs of both dancers, this album spent a time under the water, but in the other hand, the vinyl was quite perfect. Maestro Oswaldo Borba delivers "Para Dancar" renditions of a repertoire based on Brazilian and international standards, with credited musicians this time. Tracks include:
