Varios Artistas - Discomunal (1968)

I was surprised today when I came back to this album and found no comments on it. I thought a list of more than 10 comments was available. Anyway, first thing is a required Millor Fernandes introduction for friends outside of Brazil; Millor Fernandes is a Brazilian cartoonist, humorist, writer and a key figure on Brazilian music. Being active as journalist since the late 30's, Millor founded with Ziraldo, Jaguar and others, the legendary satirical newspaper O Pasquim, in the middle of the toughest Brazilian dictatorship years. Millor Fernandes hosts this concert, recorded live in 1968 at Teatro Toneleros. Let's see.

This is Discomunal (1968), for MIS, an anthological concert with the participation of Antonio Carlos Jobim as a temporary member of the short living vocal group Quarteto 004, Baden Powell, Marcia, Paulo Moura Hepteto, Chico Buarque, Franklin and Eumir Deodato, in charge of arrangements and music direction. Tracks include:
