Ademilde Fonseca - A La Miranda (1958)

Ademilde Fonseca was recently introduced to Loronixers, and the feedback given was better than my best estimates. Ademilde Fonseca is considered one of the major artists of Chorinho style, which is Choro with lyrics, such Brasileirinho (Waldyr Azevedo) a famous song on both instrumental and sung renditions. Let's see what Ademilde Fonseca brings to Loronixers this time.

This is Ademilde Fonseca - A La Miranda (1958), for Odeon, the first album recorded by Ademilde Fonseca in the 12-inch format. A La Miranda is a tribute to Carmem Miranda with Ademilde Fonseca renditions to popular tunes performed by Carmem Miranda, a short set with a running time of 29 minutes, but it seems we have much more, Ademilde Fonseca sings really fast, as I never heard. This will be a real treat to Ademilde Fonseca and Chorinho style fans. Tracks include:
