“Special thanks to Sergio Mendes for changing the course of my life, and for introducing me to the beautiful sounds of Brasil. Thank you Aloysio de Oliveira (Luie) for making this album a reality, and to Oscar Castro Neves for his unique talent. The music of Brasil has entered my heart and sings through my soul”.
Lani Hall
Wonderful statement by a singer with several albums at Loronix having her first album as main performer today. I never heard about a solo LP by Lani Hall, actually, my education on Sergio Mendes did not reach his supporting artists and I could only take Leni Hall as an artist with this album, thanks to Caetano for providing to our community.

This is Lani Hall – A Brazileira Lani Hall (1981), for A&M, produced by the mighty Aloysio de Oliveira and arranged by Oscar Castro Neves. Lani Hall does not speak Portuguese and sings Portuguese lyrics as Brazilian, and she sings very well. A Brazileira Leni Hall also features percussion by Laudir de Oliveira and Abraham Laboriel on bass.

Tracks include:

I want you to know that I downloaded this album from your site. It was the only Lani Hall solo project I did not have. I had transfered all her other albums to CD. When Herb Alpert and Lani Hall were in SF recently I gifted all ten of her solo albums to CDs to Ms Hall with some flowers, as a thank you for her beautiful music for 40 years.
I received a lovely note back from Lani, herself, thanking me and saying she’d hadn’t heard these albums in many, many years. She heard your A Brazileira!

Wooww, this is really nice. Thanks for getting this album to Lani Hall, a Brazileira.
We should also thank Caetano Rodrigues, he was the one that gave this album to our community.
Let’s say thanks to Anonymous, Caetano Rodrigues and Lani Hall!
