BRANCO,WALTEL Assim Na Terra Como No Ceu

Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition. Originally released in 1970, this brilliant, incredibly lengthy titled album contains incidental songs from three soap operas: Assim na Terra Como No C‚u, Passo dos Ventos and the most well-known Irmaos Coragem. The album contains elements not dissimilar to Incredible Bongo Band, Nico Gomez, classic Blaxploitation OST's and lost library gems. Originals are nigh on impossible to find and Mr. Bongo are very proud to be able to reissue it. Waltel Branco had a long career as conductor, composer, player, arranger. In the early '50s he had the opportunity to play jazz in Cuba (with Mongo Santamaria, Chico O'Farrill), then in the US and Europe. He's a cornerstone in Brazilian music, mixing it with Latin and jazz for him or famous artists (Tim Maia, Astor Piazzolla, Tom Jobim, Flora Purim...). He realized many movie soundtracks, summing more than 5000 compositions.
