Zito Righi is an multi-instrumentalist, best known as saxophonist, arranger and band leader, in charge of three others albums known to date, recorded in the early sixties : "Sax De Ouro" (1961) ; "The Song Is You" ; "Ribamar & Zito Righi" (1963). Originally released on label Hot, this obscure gem from Brazilian Latin Pop Music was reissued by Superfly Records, itself based on a japanese re-press (Production Dessinée). "Alucinolândia" is a brazilian tapestry, not really an ode to psychedelia (as the title and the front cover suggest), than a sophisticated blend of versatile rhythms as well as Boogaloo, Bossa Nova, Samba & Mambo. Titles include instrumental tracks, various songs recorded in english & portugese featuring Sonia Santos, the classic of George Gershwin, "Love Here To Stay" and the djs favorites "Birimbau" (selected for Via Brasil compilation, 2001) & "Poema Ritmico Do Malandro" All tracks recorded, led & arranged by Zito Righi.
