Let's start reading a statement of Joao Gilberto about the singer Celeste, he said: "É uma das mais belas vozes que já escutei" (It is one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard). Joao Gilberto would not say something like this for nothing.This is Celeste - Cinco e Triste da Manha (1978), the debut LP of a singer acclaimed by musicians and reviews that never had a public acceptance accordingly. Cinco e Triste da Manha is arranged by J.T. Meirelles and Chiquinho de Moraes. For reasons that I could not check, Celeste is almost forgotten in Brazil, but not for my friends at Loronix, at least from now on. Tracks include:
01 - Serrado (Djavan)
02 - Pó (Fafy / Sarah Benchimol)
03 - Cinco e Triste da Manhã (Silvio Silva / Fernando César)
04 - Dupla Traição (Djavan)
05 - Sonhos (Peninha)
06 - Ronda Tristeza (Tranka)
07 - Amor a Três (Roberto Correia / Jon Lemos / Eros)
08 - Foi Assim (Paulo André / Ruy Barata)
09 - Como Posso Saber (Djavan)
10 - Vergonha É Não Lutar (Kiko)
11 - Sinal de Solidão (Tranka / Jenny)
12 - Teia de Aranha (Elizabeth)
Legal! lembra um pouco Claudia e Jane Duboc. Deve ser baiana, João só diz coisa assim de alguém por solidariedade baiana. 'Baiano se ajuda mais do que judeu', conforme disse Sandra Werneck. Imperdoável apenas essa terrível 'Sonhos', de Peninha, com um arranjo chupado de 'It's Too Late', de Carole King.
ReplyDeleteNot only is she just one of those heavenly Brasilian voices, but she also manages to capture the true spirit of R&B soul singing! A voice which is a gift from God for all who are lucky enough to hear her. This record has aged well. Sublime production too!
