Tamba Trio - Tamba Trio (1966)

Hello, good evening! Here we have an album that does not need to be explained in details. Tamba Trio was one of the nicest vocal / instrumental Bossa Nova combos from the 1960's and it is very hard to find someone that doesn't have good feelings about these guys. This album was released in the middle of two classic and well-known Tamba Trio records, which is Tamba Trio - Tempo (1964) and Tamba 4 - We and the Sea (1967), for A&M records in the US. Thanks Jorge Mello for another nice contribution. Let's see.

This is Tamba Trio - Tamba Trio (1966), for Philips, featuring Luiz Eca, Bebeto, Ohana and the participation of Orquestra Sinfonica do Teatro Municipal. I have been digging Google's results for additional information about this album, but my searches were unsuccessful. I cannot explain why this album is a missing piece even in some important discographies. Anyway, there is a bad thing about this post. I forgot to transfer and include the back cover at the zl ball, which is a very important back cover written by Edu Lobo with detailed information about Tamba Trio and the new composers Caetano Veloso (05 - Quem me Dera, 11 - No Carnaval), Gilberto Gil (03 - Iemanja, 07 - Procissao) and Francis Hime (02 - Minha, 06 - Sem Mais Adeus). The back cover update will come tomorrow night. Stay tuned! Tracks include:
