Moreira da Silva - O Ultimo Malandro (1959)

With no previous announcement, Loronix started on Monday a new method of displaying album covers, larger and deluxe versions with better quality. I believe that after 5 days, with no problem diagnosed or reported by friends, I will make this new method as official. I'm having a lot of fun with this new style; it loads faster, reducing the time needed to load Loronix completely. In the other hand, I'm frustrated for not having time to adjust all previous covers available.

I want to celebrate this new feature showing one of the most beautiful covers that I had a chance to see, featuring a true legend of a very old Samba style, known as Samba, Breque. Let's see.

This is Moreira da Silva - O Ultimo Malandro (1959), for Odeon, featuring a blend Moreira da Silva hits taken from 78 RPM and unpublished tunes, released for the first time here. This is a very enjoyable album with Moreira da Silva at his peak. Now it's time to sleep, I hope everyone has a productive tomorrow and a great weekend, full of solid Brazilian listens. Tracks include:

01 - Que Barbada (Valdrido Silva / Moreira da Silva / Jucata)
02 - Amigo Urso (Henrique Gonçalez)
03 - Vara Criminal (Moreira da Silva / Ribeiro Cunha)
04 - Olha o Padilha (Ferreira Gomes / Bruno Gomes / Moreira da Silva)
