Os Originais do Samba - Alegria de Sambar (1975)

Hello, good evening! Here we go on our Carnaval pick of the day, we will have daily Carnaval releases until Carnaval time. By the way, Carnaval is scheduled to begin next Saturday, which is very early from what we are used. I think this year zecalouro will not be infected by Carnaval music, there is nothing happening bellow my window and I hope everything stays silent in the forthcoming Carnaval days.

This is Os Originais do Samba - Alegria de Sambar (1975), for RCA Victor. Os Originais do Samba is a really special Samba group and I learn to admire their music with Loronix. They are really above the average of other groups in the style and this album seems to be one of their best releases I could take for a spin so far. Justin is 100% right when he says that mid 70's RCA Victor sessions are superior in terms of sound quality, this is a very well produced album with arrangements by Maestros Wilson Mauro, Messias St. Jr., Ted Moreno, Elcio Alvares and Jose Briamonte, as detailed at the back cover inside the music. Loronix Preview Center brings the track I like most, 10 - A Dona do Primeiro Andar. Tracks include:
