Brazil -- Songs Of Protest
CD (Item 475128) Monitor, Mid 60s -- Condition: New Copy
An amazing record -- one we'd easily rank right up there with some of our favorite 60s albums from Brazil -- including work by Baden Powell or Elis Regina! This session has echoes of the best of both of those artists, but also predates their key moments too -- a groundbreaking record that combines older folkloric themes and groovier rhythms of the post-bossa generation -- all with an echoey brilliance that reminds us a lot of Powell's classic Afro Sambas record, but sung with the fierce emotion we've always loved in Elis. We've never seen another record from Zelia Barbosa, but this one moment of genius is more than enough to make us love her -- a bold, righteous album that no doubt languished in the 60s in the world/folk underground of the Monitor label, but which would have exploded in Brazil had it been issued on Philips or Forma! Just about every cut's a winner, and titles include "Pedro Pedreiro", "Cheganca", "Nega Dina", "Zelao", "Cancao Da Terra", "Sina De Caboclo", "Feio Nao E Bonita", and "Opiniao". (Special limited CD -- pressed up for us by the Smithsonian Folkways label. Comes with original cover artwork, and the CD also features a PDF file with the original liner notes and other materials from the original record release.) © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | ||||||
