Gilberto Gil - Single (1969)

Hello, good evening! I'm sure that everybody will miss Joyce at Loronix front page. Several comments are now there and I'm really glad when I read them a couple of hours ago. It confirms my writing findings, thanks to everybody who engage. Anyway, the show must go on and we need to move the show forward in style presenting a little record of a great artist featuring a well-known song. Let's see.

This is Gilberto Gil - Single (1969), for Philips, with the blockbuster Aquele Abraco (Gilberto Gil), one of those tunes that makes you kick around the house dedicated to Joao Gilberto, Dorival Caymmi and Caetano Veloso. It has been a long time since I heard Aquele Abraco for the last time and after 40 years is as fresh as it was in 1969. Side B brings Oma Iao, which is all about Tropicalismo, full of experiments, guitars and short lyrics, just the opposite from Aquele Abraco. Tracks include:

01 - Aquele Abraco (Gilberto Gil)
02 - Oma Iao (Gilberto Gil)
