Tomorrow is Friday and for those who are reading this post before going to work don't skip it, this album will make you drive until work alive and kicking. If you miss it, don't worry and make it on Monday. This is the kind of music that saves a day and Loronix has been in fault with Elza Soares, the last time she had an album at Loronix was last year, December 1st.This is Elza Soares - Elza Pede Passagem (1972), for Odeon. I could not check the reason why this album was not a commercial success by its release time, Elza Pede Passagem is very representative and one of the best albums recorded by Elza Soares in the 70's, being also considered a classic samba-soul record. A big orchestra having the legendary Dom Salvador in charge of arrangements in all tracks accompanies Elza. Personnel is not listed. I'm also making available a video with Elza Soares performing Rio, Carnaval dos Carnavais in a Brazilian movie from the same year. Tracks include:
01 - Cheguendengo (Antônio Carlos Marques / Jocafi / Renato Luis Lobo)
02 - Saltei de Banda (Zé Rodrix / Luis Carlos Sá)
03 - Maria Vai Com as Outras (Toquinho / Vinicius de Moraes)
04 - Samba da Pá (João Só)
05 - Abc da Vida (Luis Reis / Haroldo Barbosa)
06 - Barão Beleza (Tuzé de Abreu)
07 - Rio Carnaval dos Carnavais (Padeirinho / Nilton Russo / Moacir)
08 - O Gato (Gonzaguinha)
