Irakitan

Trio Irakitan - Os Sambas Que Gostamos De Cantar Odeon MOFB-3010 (1964)

The original vocal set of Gilvan, João, Toni, Edinho, Odilon & Irakitan Brito aren't my favorite group by any means, concentrating on sedate bolero sambas and mariachi-style folk songs for the majority of their early years. However, syrupy romantic stylings aside, this LP is a true winner. Ultra-tight vocalese renditions of hits of the day with a crack backing section culminating in a handful of groovy & totally swinging tunes I'm sure you'll really dig! Their 'Moca' and 'Samba De Duas Notas' particularly memorable in my opinion.

1) Amor No Samba
2) Moca
3) Chorou, Chorou
4) So Danco O Samba
5) Estrada Do Sol
6) Garota De Ipanema
7) Amor A 120
8) Voce
9) Nao Fique Triste
10) O Barquinho
11) Samba De Duas Notas
12) Menina Flor
