Maria Creuza - Maria Creuza e Os Grandes Mestres do Samba (1975)

Hello, Good Evening! It is so cold in Rio that I cannot move. I'm wrapped with every piece of cloth I could find in the house. I'm even afraid with zecalouro, poor bird, he cannot use clothes and cannot stand cold temperatures. He gets a bad mood and never seems to make him satisfied. Talking about satisfaction, what about Samba performed by an anthological singer with a very sweet voice? That's what we have here. Let's see.

This is Maria Creuza - Maria Creuza e Os Grandes Mestres do Samba (1975), for RCA Victor, Maria Creuza tribute to Brazilian Samba legends, featuring songs of Ze Keti, Monarco, Martinho da Vila, Cartola, Nelson Cavaquinho, Wilson Moreira, Elton Medeiros and others. Maria Creuza Samba performance is amazing and her beautiful voice fits beautifully with the Samba mood. The back cover brings short bios by Sergio Cabral of several Samba artists. Os Grandes Mestres do Samba is arranged by Rildo Hora and features renowned musicians. Tracks include:
