5.0 out of 5 stars
Doing Bossa and being black, August 5, 2004
This review is from: A Bossa Negra (Audio CD)
Awesome re-mastering of a 1961 classic. Fans of Samba, jazz, and anything latin will appreciate Elza Soares' energetic performances. Had she been in the USA she would have fit in nicely in the Rat Pack! However, as a black woman in the melting pot that is Brazil, her success opened doors much like Dorothy Dandridge in the USA. I would even compare her with the great Ella. Her interesting story includes being married to the soccer star Garrincha! This edition, with new liner notes written by Elza herself is well worth the investment.
