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)
