Kompis! Kompis! crate findings in Santiago de Chile, part 3

This was a lucky grab I made because normally I wouldn't suspect that a record with this kind of cover art contains some marvellous tunes... I don't know why it catched my interest, at first it sounded as one more of all those boring South American troubadours chanting their so important messages with some kind of nonsense music in the background. But I capitulated completely when the needle hit this tune that without a doubt has an interesting and appealing bossa folkish musical arrangement with those cool and clear sounding vocals and the repeating hook going on and on "...conversacao, conversacao, conversacao de paz..." ending up with a nice psyche finale ecoing "...bla, bla, bla, bla, bla-bla-bla!". The song "Conversacao de paz" ("Peace talks") is performed by Sergio Ricardo from Brazil. Apparently a quite known singer, composer and multi instrumentalist. (The song is so good that it qualified to be in the latest podcast show of Wichita Linemen - some friends of ours that soon also will be appearing here at Kompis! Kompis!)
