Mariza - A Suave Mariza (1959)

Caetano Rodrigues music for tonight is being carefully prepared by our engineers, meanwhile, I want to show one of the albums that I was looking for many years, courtesy of a great friend and one of the nicest guys I had the chance to meet at Loronix, the legendary Mauro R. V. I told before and I want to say again, Mauro R. V. learned from scratch how to make vinyl transfers and just get some minor cosmetic advices of mine. He also used his own resources to buy a scanner, just to improve his contributions. I'm really glad that Mauro has now a scanner, this is one of the greatest albums cover I have ever seen. Let's see.

This is Mariza - A Suave Mariza (1959), for Copacabana, featuring the Brazilian singer Mariza, later known as Marisa and finally as Marisa Gata Mansa, perhaps by the association with this fantastic cover with the cat. Marisa was a very close friend of Dolores Duran and one of the best performers of her repertoire. She started her career in the early 50's, being also an important Bossa Nova singer, performing at Beco das Garrafas and other nightclubs. This is her debut LP after recording to earlier albums with Moacyr Silva. Marisa died very recently in 2003. Tracks include:
