Aracy de Almeida - Samba é Aracy de Almeida (1965)

My friends from Brazil will think the zecalouro is going nuts with this post. Those who have less than 45 years old will remember Aracy de Almeida as the bad humour character from a Sunday afternoon show of Silvio Santos. However, Aracy is much more than that, she is simply one of the best performer of Noel Rosa and many other genius from Brazilian music from the early twenty century.

Aracy is so unique that we will start from his last album, Samba é Aracy de Almeida from Elenco, 1965.

That's amazing.

Really amazing. It is the money I need to replace my old car. It is so rusty that I'm afraid to get tetanus on an eventual crash.

Thanks for the info.

Aracy de Almeida é demais mesmo! Uma das melhores intérpretes de Noel Rosa e lendária jurada do Sílvio Santos.
Parabéns pelo blog, excelente trabalho de memória e de divulgação do que há de melhor na música brasileira

Dear Zeca,

I am still nitpicking along the older archives and again came up with an unextractable zip archive. Please fix this file when you have some time!

Yours ever ;-)
