RARE BRAZIL LPS

THIS WEEK WE'RE REDUCING THE BRAZIL COLLECTION;
ALL LPS ARE FROM OUR PRIVATE COLLECTION AND CARED FOR. 
ALL ARE BRAZIL ORIGINALS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED. 

NOT A LOT OF NON-BRAZILIANS ARE INTO CLARA NUNES BUT IN MY OPINION SHE IS ONE THE GREATEST BRAZILIAN SINGERS, SHE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST MILLION SELLING BRAZILIAN ARTISTS AND CONSIDERED THE "SAMBA QUEEN" BUT SHE HAD MANY STYLES, SOMETIMES ROOTSY SOMETIMES SOULFUL AND AT OTHER TIMES JAZZY. SHE DIED YOUNG BUT HER LEGACY REMAINS STRONG TO THIS DAY. IN OUR OPINION, NO SERIOUS BRAZILIAN LP COLLECTION SHOULD BE WITHOUT SOME OF HER RECORDS.

CLARA NUNES
ALVOCERER
ODEON
ORIGINAL 1974 BRAZIL LP

Clara Nunes "Alvorecer" (EMI-Odeon, 1974) 
This is a great, great, great record. Indeed, for me this is a foundational album... It's one of the first Brazilian records I ever owned and is key to my infatuation with the country's music, with several songs that have long since been burned directly into my genetic code. This is Clara Nunes at her absolute best -- sexy, evocative, compelling, a powerful vocalist sliding into some of the sleekest samba riffs ever recorded. Drenched in the Afro-Brazilian rhythms and the samba de roda (samba-circle) call-and-answer choral style, it includes magnificent numbers such as Candeia's "Sindorere," the lively Elton Medeiros tune, "Meu Sapato Ja Furou," and an unusually modulated version of the old Dorival Caymmi standard, "O Que A Que A Baiana Tem," which is taken at a more leisurely pace than the hit version by Carmen Miranda. From start to finish, this is a lovely, upbeat, life-affirming album, one of the finest Brazilian records ever made. Highly recommended! - REVIEW FROM SLIPCUE.COM
