Copinha - Amando Sempre (1981)

Hello, good evening! Here we go on our daily post, today featuring a very special album of a really important musician and one of my favorites, Nicolino Copia, which we know as Copinha. Copinha is a really privileged musician, with an active career on decades of contributions to Brazilian music, starting in the 20's until the 80's. Let's see.

This is Copinha - Sempre Amando (1981), for Columbia, the last Copinha career album with the participation and arrangements of Radames Gnattali and arrangements by Radames Gnattali and Copinha. This the only Copinha career album I have available, but his music is present in almost every page of Loronix, through contributions to renowned artists records, such like Elizeth Cardoso, Joao Gilberto, Paulinho da Viola, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and many others. Copinha is the master on short and perfect flute introductions, being his best one the flute solo at Chega de Saudade, at the anthological self titled album recorded in 1958 with the same name.antológico of the same name written by Joao Gilberto.
