My favorite albums

This is a small sample of the historic albums I love the most. They include contemporary releases ( such as Adriano Giffoni's) and some "oldies". Most of my hard-to-find records were bought in the early sixties in Rio (then a fair dinkum "Cidade Maravilhosa" - Wonderful City ) and include gems like Elis & Jair's "Dois na Bossa" series . I remember listening to the fantastic rhythms on my modest sound system, dreaming about owing a drum kit, about playing with those fabulous musicians, unaware of my extreme luck for being born and raised in such wealthy culture. I really love these old albums !! Thankfully, most of them have now been reissued on CD format. I have created this page so you also can get hold of them by ordering this cream of Brazilian music directly from this page using the services of Amazon.com . I'm sure you'll enjoy these CDs as much as I do ( some of them for more than three decades !!!! ).
