Vinicius De Moraes

A new 180-gram vinyl reissue of the long unavailable earliest release in the catalogue of the highly influential Bossa Nova label Elenco. Its executive producer, Aloysio de Oliveira, could hardly make a better choice than putting together the great Vinícius de Moraes and actress/singer Odette Lara. Vinícius’ lyrics were essential in the birth of the Bossa Nova genre. Legendary Brazilian guitarist Baden Powell also contributed his immense talents to the effort. The recording also features arrangements by another essential musician in Brazilian’s popular music: Moacir Santos.
