A long time ago, I worked with a guy from Brazil. I heard him playing
some music and asked him what it was. The next day, he gave me two
cassette tapes. One was labelled "Toquinho Tocando". It had 12-15
instrumentals that were just fabulous. The other was labelled "Toquinho
Cantando". It had 12-15 vocals. They were pretty good, too, but I much
preferred the instrumentals. I have lost touch with the colleague and,
after several moves, can no longer find the cassettes.

I've searched for that title and cannot find it. I can find quite a lot
of music by Toquinho (from Brasil) and some of it similar to what I
recall, but it is mostly vocals. I don't know if he ever made an album
with that exact title, but if he did, I'd sure like to get a copy.

Does anyone have any idea where I might find it?

Thanks

Sam,

Wikipedia has this fellow's discography. They say Tocando was released in
1977 and Cantando in 1978.
Here's Tocando.

Yes, those are the pieces.

Since I posted this query, I've found a couple of places where I can
play the pieces on my PC, but not anyplace where I can buy the album or
download the music. Do you know of any?

This website has some software to download, but it appears to be some
kind of audio editor or something like that. Do you know if allows the
download of these pieces?

Jennifer,

His albums are readily for sale, including both of these titles.
