I first heard Aparecida on ‘Roda de Samba’, also from 1975,( see earlier this past week ) so when I found this record at that tiny
shack, back in Rua 7 de setembro, in Rio, it made me very happy.Produced by Durval Ferreira and with the participation of
Chicinho de Acordeon this is a very pure piece of samba.

replace them later.
