Amor En Bossa Nova

CD (Item 548539) Sonorama (Germany), 1963 — Condition: Used
Temporarily Out Of Stock

CD

✈
❔
A rare bit of bossa nova from the early 60s – originally only issued in Argentina, but done with the warm grace and mellow groove of Brazil's best work at the time by Joao Gilberto or Carlos Lyra! Like both of those artists, Reginaldo Bessa's a poet in his approach to music – gently playing acoustic guitar alongside a bit of percussion and flute, and singing in a spacious, airy sort of style that further emphasizes the subtle shadings of the words in the tunes. The whole thing's got a really lovely feel that's totally great – a quality that we'd normally only reserve for some of the real bossa classics from Rio – and the album's an especial treat because most of the tunes here are original, not versions of overdone bossa standards! Titles include "Voce Ja Foi A Bahia", "Samba Dissonante", "Salo", "No Tempo Da Vovo", "O Samba Que Eu Nao Fix", "Fix Un Samba", "Cancao Do Amor So", and "Sabado Em Copacabana".  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Used CD Grade

We use the all-encompassing grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.

Condition Notes

If something is relevant, we try to describe it in the notes — especially if it is release or packaging details, or an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the CD. This might include, but isn't limited to, scratches, tracks that skip, case/insert damage or wear, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
