5.0 out of 5 stars
Classic, killer Brazilian samba, July 19, 2001
This review is from: Serie Bis Cantores Do Radio (Audio CD)
EMI's "Cantores Do Radio" series is a great look at the popular singers who came before the bossa nova era. Samba star Gilberto Alves recorded extensively in the late 1930s and '40s, and was one of the best-beloved singers of his generation. His style encompassed big band crooning as well as straightforward samba cancao, all delivered in a fresh-sounding, friendly voice, sort of like a Brazilian Bing Crosby... This is one of the best collections in this series, particularly if you are looking for the old stuff!
