Codo - Um Violao Muito Bom Modestia a Parte (1969)

Hello, good afternoon! I was making a website migration yesterday and decided to read a magazine while waiting for a DNS refresh. The DNS was refreshed, but I slept by accident at the couch while reading the magazine. It happens every time. This is the reason why I’m making this extraordinary mid afternoon post, since it was supposed to be released yesterday. Let’s see.

This is Codo – Um Violao Muito Bom Modestia a Parte (1969), for the legendary label Copacabana, featuring Codo violao performing a blend of his own compositions with Brazilian and some international tunes. Maestro Ivan Paulo is in charge of the arrangements and Ismael Correa is the producer. Thanks to Jorge Mello for another Codo album, a musician that was recently introduced to our community that never had a chance to be reissued on CD. Tracks include:

01 - Nagasaki (Codó)
