Amazing retrospective for Brazilian soul-samba diva, September 22, 2007
This review is from: Negra (Audio CD)
A stunning, definitive 12-CD box set that gathers nearly all of Brazilian samba-jazz singer Elza Soares' albums from 1961 to 2003, including all her work for the Odeon and Tapecar labels, with an added bonus disc of rarities and singles. The albums are combined, two on each disc, including "A Bossa Negra" (1961), "O Samba E Elza Soares" (1961), "Sambossa" (1963), "Na Roda De Samba" (1964), "Um Show De Elza" (1965), "Com A Bola Branca" (1966), "O Maximo Em Samba" (1967), "Elza, Miltinho E Samba" (1967), "Baterista: Wilson Das Neves" (1968), "Elza, Miltinho E Samba, v.2" (1968), "Elza, Carnaval E Samba" (1969), "Elza, Miltinho E Samba, v.3" (1969), "Sambas E Mais Sambas" (1970), "Pede Passagem" (1972), "Sangue, Suor E Raca" (1972), "Elza Soares" (1973), "Elza Soares" (1974), "Nos Brancos Do Samba" (1975), "Licao De Vida" (1976), "Pilao + Raca = Elza" (1977), "Voltei" (1988), and the rarities disc. If you really want to check out her essential ouvre, this is your best shot. (DJ Joe Sixpack)
