Digitially remastered edition of this 1969 Bossa Nova classic. Bossa Rio were a great group produced by Sergio Mendes for A&M, and they had the same feel as Brasil 66, with harmony vocals and Bossa grooves – but without all the ballads and slower stuff. Members of the group include Manfredo Fest and Pery Ribeiro, Brazilian stars in their own right. This first album is very jazzy, with nice versions of ”Cacao do Sal”, ”Veleiro”, ”Saiupa”, and ”Nana” – plus lots of other nice groovers that have a classic A&M bossa feel to them. Group leader Gracinha Leporace was Mrs. Sergio Mendes, and was to provide vocals for the later Brasil 77 albums. Rev-Ola. 2009.
