This album was a bit of a surprise. From the cover I was expecting a "folk" guitar LP. But what I got was a smooth blend of light pop, latin, and space age easy listening vocals with Bonfa supporting the mix.
You can read about Bonfa on his wiki page. And here is a link to his impressive discography.
This is a cool album.
You should do a radio show and play cuts from your collection - just an idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks Martin!
ReplyDeleteCool. Didn't expect that! Just the voices need to go. You know how I am about that. lol
ReplyDeleteWould you mind uploading a sample of "Oba Oba", from this album? Having listened to versions by Astrud Gilberto and others, I'd like to hear Luiz's version of the track.
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking. Do you know the track order? I've stored the album and it's impossible to find it with great effort. But I could pull the track from the audio file if I knew the position.
DeleteThere you go! Enjoy!
DeleteHey, I've been searching for weeks this version of Oba Oba - The Avalanches put it in their last mixtape. Is there any way to find this album? There's no way to reach it on iTunes or vinyls. Could you at least send us a link to download this album? Thanks alot, best regards to your wonderful blog.

DeleteHello! Great blog! Could you help me with Oba Oba's lyrics?
