5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Interpretation, August 7, 2001

By 

Rafael Bovani (New York City, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ela (Audio CD)

She (Elis) as we can hear in this CD is giving us an opportunity to embrace our deepest feelings and find an spetacular interpretation as in Madalena (one the most popular songs of our time, you can easily hear this music sang by a musician in Union Square or in the subway), Black is beautiful another expectional interpretation. Good music to be listened and appreciated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ooh Madalena by Elis Regina, the master, May 18, 2003

This review is from: Ela (Audio CD)

When Ella Fitzgerald came to Rio de Janeiro in 1971, she got impressed by a track she listened to from a cassette tape someone had presented her. It was the smash hit of the moment - "Madalena" by composer Ivan Lins as sung by Elis Regina. It was 1971 and Ella has recorded it live in 1972 in her Jazz the Philharmonica concert at the Santa Monica Civic. The master Elis Regina counted on the great Chiquinho de Morais as her arranger for this album. Another smash hit from this album was Marcos Valle's "Black is Beautiful".
