Elizeth Cardoso - Momento de Amor (1968)

This album is so far the greatest contribution by Dona Iara, delivering an Elizeth Cardoso album that I never had the chance to hear. By default, this record was clean as taken from Copacabana factory yesterday; I will not resist asking Dona Iara how she kept these records for decades with perfect condition. I feel very proud to receive her albums, this one is not so easy to find and is a really top Elizeth Cardoso LP. Let's see.

This is Elizeth Cardoso - Momento de Amor (1968), for Copacabana, produced by Rubens Barsotti (Zimbo Trio) and arranged by Luiz Chaves (Zimbo Trio) and Cyro Pereira. The back cover brings a liner notes written by Sergio Porto that explains everything about this album. Sergio Porto says this record is the first after a series of Elizeth Cardoso Samba LPs produced by Moacyr Silva and Momento de Amor represents a shift, bringing a repertoire of Samba Cancao with a very sweet and intimate interpretation of Elizeth Cardoso.
