Paulinho Nogueira - Sambas de Ontem e Hoje (1961)

Hello, good evening! I can't remember a rain such like we are receiving in Rio de Janeiro. It is a non-stopping rain that lasts three or four days. The beach gets empty and people stay in their places, which was my option yesterday, when I took a time to hear some albums to take them in consideration at Loronix. This one is an outcome of this evaluation. Let's see.

This is Paulinho Nogueira - Sambas de Ontem e Hoje (1961), for RGE, the third Paulinho Nogueira solo LP, backed by Conjunto RGE with no credits to arranger and musician. This cover, with the message "Music for Tourists" cheats me, I always considered this album some sort of Para Dancar release, but Paulinho Nogueira delivers again a really nice album with very good guitar playing on top of a nice repertoire of Sambas and Bossa Nova cuts.
