Rago e Seu Conjunto - Rago em Sonoramico (1960)

Continental LPP 3107

Antônio Rago for the first time in this parallel reality.
Everything that you might ask me is already answered in the linear notes written by Gióia Júnior, so I suggest reading it.
Of course, I will tell you something that Gióia could not possibly know at the time of writing the text: After this album, which is the fifth in his career albums line-up, he has released (at least) five more.

Which instrument he plays, I can not tell you, but you might easily guess it after taking a look upon the front cover.

Enjoy Antônio performing, together with his conjunto, his own compositions:

01. Jamais Te Esquecerei (Antônio Rago / Juraci Rago)
02. Folinha (Antônio Rago)
03. Mentiroso (Antônio Rago)
04. Mambo na Glória (Antônio Rago)
05. Se Ela Voltasse (Antônio Rago)
06. Chá-chá-chá (Antônio Rago)
07. Em Tuas Mãos (Antônio Rago / Ribeiro Filho)
08. O Barão na Dança (Antônio Rago / Mário Vieira)
09. Festa Portuguesa (Antônio Rago / Mário Vieira)
10. Encantamento (Antônio Rago / Conde)
11. Boneca Japonesa (Antônio Rago / Mário Vieira)
12. Você É Meu Samba (Antônio Rago / Paulo Centrain)

MAMBO NA GLÓRIA
