Elza Soares e Roberto Ribeiro - Sangue Suor e Raça (1972)

If you close a day with Elza Soares you have a perfect day. It has been more than a year this album was first released at Loronix. It was a shame that he was not upgraded since than, now we have better cover scans, nice ripping and the missing track 07 - O Que Vem de Baixo nao me Atinge is now included. Actually, this album got much better with the correct track 07, it is the best album track. Let's see.

This is Elza Soares e Roberto Ribeiro - Sangue, Suor e Raca (1972), for Odeon. This album immediately follows the acclaimed O Samba pede Passagem, released earlier in the same year of 1972. Sangue, Suor e Raca, upgrades the previous one, Elza is funkier and the great Roberto Ribeiro really adds something special to the album with soul vocals and nice duets with Elza. Dom Salvador and Maestro Nelsinho are in charge of arrangements, but personnel listing is not available this time. Tracks include:

01 - Swing Negrão (Elza Soares) Brasil Pandeiro (Assis Valente) O Samba Agora Vai (Pedro Caetano) É Com Esse Que Eu Vou (Pedro Caetano)
02 - Aurora de Um Sambista (Toco)
03 - Domingos Domingueira (Eduardo Marques (1))
04 - Cicatrizes (Miltinho / Paulo César Pinheiro)
