Brasiliana (1967)

Hello, good evening! I'm amazed with the number of new visitors coming to Loronix today. I could not identify the source of this traffic, but our statistic shows a 30% increase in the last three hours. Perhaps Loronix got listed on a popular website or magazine, anyway, everybody knows this parrot hungry on statistics, numbers, trends and graphics. I decided to start today with an album to address the newcomers, a compilation featuring several artists, just to give you a panorama of the music from Brazil available to our community. Let's see.

This is Brasiliana (1967), for Philips, a never commercially released album distributed by Philips to the participants of III Congresso Interamericano de Administracao de Pessoal, being also Philips celebration of 75 years of activities in Brazil, with several pictures of Philips 1966 facilities available in the back cover. The repertoire features Bossa Nova tunes, performed by artists from Philips cast, such like Tamba Trio, Lyra de Xopoto, Neyde Fraga, Walter Wanderley, Portinho, Orquestra Arco Iris, among others. Tracks include:
