Doris Monteiro - Agora (1976)

Hello, good evening! In the very first beginning of Loronix, Doris Monteiro was a real fever among friends discovering her music for the first time and also friends having the chance of hear her records again. Sombras says Doris Monteiro first record is a 78RPM released by Todamerica in 1951 and she remains in plenty activity, releasing albums and performing live. It is a great pleasure to bring Doris Monteiro back to Loronix first page. Let's see.

This is Doris Monteiro - Agora (1976), for Odeon, featuring arrangements and conduction by the mighty Maestro Geraldo Vespar, another Brazilian music legend that I had the chance to meet with the help of Loronix. Doris and Maestro Geraldo Vespar are backed by a constellation of Brazilian musicians, including Sivuca, Copinha, Juarez, and many other well-known names that you can check at personnel listing below. This album is of a strange beauty and you cannot skip it. Tracks include:

    I've never heard of Doris, but you definitely seem enthusiastic about her music, so I have to hear it.

    Yes, this is excellent. She has a beautiful voice and such a cool style. How can you not fall in live with her when she sings?

    Prezado Zeca, o que houve com o blog? Fez barba, cabelo e bigode? Onde estão todos aqueles balangandãs???

    Espero que tudo esteja bem, afinal o Loronix é indispensável.

    Grande abraço, JL.

    Mr. John Lester,

    Tem certeza que você está vendo o Loronix? Os balangandãns estão todos aí. Que susto. Peguei sua mensagem no celular e vim correndo até o notebook para ver o que estava acontecendo.

    Obrigado pelas palavras, mas essencial mesmo é o Jazzseen.

    Abraços, zeca
