Here, arranger Cesar Camargo Mariano rides brilliant once again. Elis Regina sings a beautiful tango and also sings two songs by Gilberto Gil. She also launches the career of Brazilian famous composer Joao Bosco. Very very great album.

My wife waked into the office, and seeing the tears in my eyes asked me why I was crying. I told her that one of the most beautiful and creative voices in Brasil had died, and listening to this CD was breaking my heart with its beauty. Her vocals, the arrangements, complex, melodic and yet surprisingly simple in the way they embrace her tender vocals.
How could the world not be aware of such artistry. One can only wonder at what might have been if she had lived. She could blow your socks off, and she could bring you to tears. Elis was an epiphany.

This review is from: Elis 1973 (Audio CD)

Although this album has been recorded in 1973, it could have been recorded yesterday. Elis and its group - lead by Cesar Camargo Mariano - make an undissociable one and deliver great songs. "Oriente" is no short than shivering, when Elis goes from a self-contention to fury in less than 30 seconds. And the group goes with her - or would it be the contrary? Hard to tell. "Folhas Secas" is unforgettable, a real tribute to Ary Barroso - modern and traditional, jazzy and respectful at the same time. Do get this CD while it lasts and before someone decides to "remaster" it to show "details".
