Angela Maria - Angela de Todos os Temas (1970)

Welcome back to Loronix, Angela Maria, now with a late LP from 1970, Angela de Todos os Temas. We have been wondering together here that even with a bad repertoire, line-up, production, arrangement, etc. Angela is outstanding enough to deliver good LPs or at least acceptable ones.

By the end of the 60's, according with reviewers and music journalists, Angela's career declined due her outdated repertoire and the revolution on Brazilian music with Tropicalia and MPB that has left Angela behind. The only exception is this LP that was a extraordinary commercial success, responsible by the release of some Brazilian classics, such as Gente Humilde (Garoto, Vinicius de Moraes and Chico Buarque), Os Argonautas (Caetano Veloso) and Noite de Temporal (Dorival Caymmi).

This is the first Angela Maria LP that zecalouro is in doubt to tag it or not as a medium LP. Weird, since Angela de Todos os Temas is acclaimed as one of the best Angela's LP from the 70's.
Perhaps zecalouro is being influenced by this incredible cover artwork that seems to be just a photograph of Angela taken at the record set lobby (there is something I need to say in Portuguese, essa capa é uma das mais cafonas que zecalouro já viu em toda a sua vida), look at Angela's shadow at the wall, that's incredible.

Well, this is zecalouro opinion. Maybe zecalouro is wrong, as always. Do not be influenced by this parrot, it is Angela Maria with all the magic we are used to hear on later posts.
