Sebastiao Tapajos, Maria Nazareth, Arnaldo Henriques - Sebastiao Tapajos, Maria Nazareth, Arnaldo Henriques (1973)

Brazilian guitarist Sebastiao Tapajos, who in 1972 left an Afro-spiritual masterpiece with Birimbau master Pedro Dos Santos. This bossa nova album released the following year on Argentine great label Trova, which also released the aforementioned album, with a three-piece ensemble consisting of singer Maria Nazareth and vocalist/bassist Arnaldo Henriques. Starting with a bossa nova medley of five tunes that clocks in at just under four minutes, follewing popular killer samba "Sambachiana", "Samba Triste" with a nostalgic saudade vocal, exhilarating bossa number "Vida Burguesa", melancholy bossa "Triangulo" where two vocals interact, Baden Powell cover "Voy Por Ahi" with beautiful guitar and vocals. The entire album is full of places to listen. The technical guitars, sweet and cute vocals, and the laid back vocals of Arnaldo Henriques are woven together to create a superb album that has been called the best bossa nova album from Argentina. Produced by big Alfredo Radoszynski. Just wonderful!
