When snooping around in my friend's shop I stumbled upon this samba album from back in 1969. It[...]

A sunny saturday with sunny music. I have been asked to post some of that samba I brought home lately and It's my pleasure to do so. I am not so fond of them over-produced types of samba, you know, with violins and huge orchestration. The beauty lies in simplicity and strong lyrics if I[...]

Listening to Samba is something one has to learn. I always compare it with eating olives or drinking Belgian beer. The first time you think; Ooof this is quite different, second time it is already getting a little better and third time you really start to like it. One way or another, for me there's[...]

It has been a while since we saw him. Some of his best albums came by on various occasions, but his third was still missing. I do not have it personally, that is, not physical. This is the digital version I once found somewhere, don't remember where it was. Had to polish up the data[...]
