Nilo Sergio - Danca e Romance (1962)

Hello, Good Evening! Let's start this Monday, how can I say, "classy", showing an album issued by the legendary record label Nilser, Musidisc subsidiary. Nilser was Nilo Sergio creation for the "De Luxe" albums, featuring nice and really unique covers with that circular opening that reveals part of a beautiful picture inside. It is impossible to show via Internet, but Nilser covers do not bend easily, they are made from a very tough material. Let's see what Nilo Sergio delivers on his first solo LP at Loronix.

This is Nilo Sergio - Danca e Romance (1962), for Nilser. Some websites credit Nilo Sergio Sua Orquestra e Vozes as the main performer of Danca e Romance, however, I could not find a single reference written on any piece of this album. Do not let the title "Danca e Romance" cheats you, this album has some very nice Samba songs performed by a male singer, probably Pedrinho Rodrigues, although some friends credit crooner participation as Orlan Divo. Anyway, you will have now the chance to check this out, hearing this nice piece. Tracks include:

01 - Vai Menina (Nilo Sergio)
02 - Quiereme Mucho (Gonzalo Roig)
03 - Ranchero (Nilo Sergio)
04 - I've Got You Under My Skin (Cole Porter)
05 - Moon River (J. Mercer / Henry Mancini)
06 - Lolita Ya Ya (Harris / Riddle)
07 - Hymne à L'amour (Edith Piaf / Marguerite Monnot)
08 - Tonight (S. Sondheim / L. Bernstein)
09 - Dos Perdidos (Nilo Sergio)
10 - El Manisero (Moisés Simons)
11 - Em Las Vegas (Nilo Sergio)
12 - I Could Have Danced All Night (A. J. Lerner / F. Loewe)
