Carlos Lyra - ...E no Entanto e Preciso Cantar (1971)

My choices were many for this last post of Monday, but I had something specific in my mind since the morning that unfortunately had fail in the last minute. The past show that these last minute failures are important to make you dig your collection to find forgotten gems that are ready and waiting for a chance. We need thanks this last minute failure that made zecalouro remembers this old and good Carlos Lyra LP, which deserves to close this amazing Monday.

This is Carlos Lyra - ...E no Entanto e Preciso Cantar (1971), for Philips, produced by Roberto Menescal and arranged by Theo de Barros. This album brings well-known Carlos Lyra songs, including the one that I like most, Maria Ninguem, recorded by Joao Gilberto at the anthological Chega de Saudade, Primavera, Cancao que Morre no Ar, Marcha da Quarta Feira de Cinzas among others. Personnel is not credit and Theo de Barros arrangements are beautiful on top of classic Bossa Nova standards. Tracks include:

02 - Minha Namorada (Carlos Lyra / Vinicius de Moraes)
03 - I See Me Passing By (Carlos Lyra / Kate Lyra) with Kate Lyra
