Elizeth Cardoso - Live in Japan (1978)

I was changing emails with the bossanovadreamer to gather his opinion about the posts for today. We agreed on an artist and the world was a wonderful place and everybody was happy. However, the green bird never stops quiet and changed his mind to this nice performance of a great Brazilian diva that always make a great releases at Loronix.

This is Elizeth Cardoso - Live in Japan (1978), for Copacabana, recorded live at Teatro Shibuya Kokaido, Tokyo, Japan, 1977. No much to say about this release, except that it confirms that even a late Elizeth Cardoso performs wonderfully on a live set, such like that earlier release with Zimbo Trio at boite Sucata. Just forgot to say that this cover is gorgeous, one of those that you cannot stop starring. If any friend has a version better than this one, please fell free to share with us. Tracks include:
