Braziliana (album)
Braziliana is a 1965 album by Brazilian guitarist Luiz Bonfá and his wife, singer Maria Toledo, of songs mainly composed by Bonfá and Toledo, produced by Bobby Scott.[1] The backing musicians included drummers Hélcio Milito and Dom Um Romão. Stereo Review accorded it a Recording of Special Merit.[2] The album was recorded after the success of the 1964 Getz/Gilberto album, and increased interest in samba and bossa nova in Europe. After being out of print for many years the LP was reissued as CD in the Verve Originals series in 2008.

References
- Billboard (magazine) "Brazilian composer and guitarist, and his wife, Maria Toledo, a cool singer in the Astrud Gilberto tradition, blend a winning combination of bossa nova, samba and ballad. Bonfa's guitar work is outstanding. The album will appeal strongly to Latin fans. Miss Toledo gets a lot of feeling in the Portuguese lyrics."
