"If you like 60's jazz, this is a great album! I have been a big fan of Doris Monteiro from an early age.

The original release of this recording was 1964. I just love the lively fun tunes. There's also presence of Walter Wonderlay's funky jazz organ throughout this album. A definate must-have for any lounge-lizzard.

Another older recording of Doris Monteiro that is excellent is "Doris Monteiro Gostoso e Sambar". I haven't been able to locate it on CD anywhere, but it was also on Philips label (on vinyl-lp). If you ever come across a copy- get it! you won't be sorry.

Doris Monteiro has a beautiful voice, reminds me of Astrud Gilberto (only better).

This particular recording is a Japanese re-issue. Sound quality is excellent.

Fine early album from an underrated Brazilian singer

"This 1964 album by Brazilian singer Doris Monteiro is notable for the absence of songs by Tom Jobim or any of the other lions of the then-dominant bossa nova scene. Instead, there are several tracks from second-generation composers such as Marcos Valle (four of his songs) and Durival Ferreira. Fans of Astrud Gilberto may like this one a lot.
