Celia Reis - O Samba é Celia Reis (1965)

This is Celia Reis, her first time at Loronix, thanks to Edson Mendes, the fast friend that sent us the Front and Back cover of the Elizeth Cardoso LP with Joao Gilberto as a side-man, playing guitar. It is hard to write about this album, really above the average of LPs with Samba songs.

This is Celia Reis - O Samba e Celia Reis (1962), for Philips, solid from start to the end with arrangements of Baden Powell and also guitar playing in some tracks. Backing vocals are wonderful, provided by MPB-4. Celso Murilo plays organ on several tracks. Celia Reis was a big surprise for me, beautiful singing. Edson Mendes made a wonderful job providing also background information on this record, which is included with the music. Tracks include:

01 - Só Danço Samba (Tom Jobim / Vinicius de Moraes)
02 - Vai de Vez (Orlann Divo / Roberto Jorge)
03 - Leilão (Luis Reis / Haroldo Barbosa)
04 - Dan Chá-chá-chá (Roberto Menescal / Ronaldo Bôscoli)
05 - É Samba (Cyro Monteiro)
06 - Influencia do Jazz (Carlos Lyra)
07 - O Amor Que Acabou (Chico Feitosa / Luis Fernando Freire)
08 - Sambadinho (Orlann Divo / Roberto Jorge)
09 - Dói Mas É Bom (Billy Blanco / Nilo Sergio)
10 - Para Não Sofrer (Tom Jobim)
11 - Deve Ser Amor (Baden Powell / Vinicius de Moraes)
12 - Tamanco no Samba (Orlann Divo / Hélton Menezes)

Thanks Zeca, for now I'm glad for the colorful cover but I'm sure I'll be just as happy about the music. Wouldn't this be a good time for a bossa-arrangement of "white christmas" ?

Best Regards

A coisa mais triste é ver branco sambando — na minha escola não desfila. Daí, na hora de baixar este disco, medrei. Ainda bem que a curiosidade venceu, pois é de fato um disco de samba espetacular, com aquele balanço a Breno Sauer. Celia Reis tem o élan de Isaura Garcia: começa a cantar e já arrebata quem a ouve. Falta-lhe o sotaque italianado do Brás, mas aí, belo, seria pedir demais!
Obrigado Zeca Louro e Edson Mendes, os aiatolás do samba.
