Roberto Ribeiro - Arrasta Povo (1976)

Hello, good evening! It is nice to introduce a new artist to Loronix community, and it is also nice to make a Samba album again. Needless to say again that I am not the right person to review a Samba LP, but I believe we are in front of one of those classic albums in the style. Roberto Ribeiro has a great voice and it is a really good Samba interpreter. He delivers that kind of melodic Samba in minor key and this album features some of his well known tunes released in the 1970's. Let's see.

This is Roberto Ribeiro - Arrasta Povo (1976), for Odeon. Now I remember that Loronix has already an album recorded by Roberto Ribeiro, which is his first LP, the impossible to find Sangue, Suor e Raca (1972) with Elza Soares, highly recommended -- just click at the album cover in your left -- and featuring arrangements by Maestro Dom Salvador. By the way, Elza Soares "revealed" Roberto Ribeiro with this album and some singles released with him in the period. I think you will have a very solid listening with Roberto Ribeiro. Tracks include:
