Elza Soares - Nos Bracos do Samba (1975)

I'm in the mood of Samba with the end of our Survey. I'm now addicted to surveys and promotions and it is now time to start thinking about the next one, if you have an idea, just write me, we need good ideas. Let's celebrate the possible winner with Samba and Samba = Elza Soares.

This is Elza Soares - Nos Bracos do Samba (1975), for Tapecar, a mid-70's Elza Soares album featuring Ed Lincoln playing several roles, arranger in all tracks, production and musical direction. I learned with this album that Ed Lincoln has also collaborated with Elza Soares on other two mid 70's releases. There is no need to write much, it is Saturday a traditional Samba day at Loronix and Elza is always self-explanatory. Take a special attention on a very beautiful insert at the size of a LP with lyrics. Tracks include:

01 - Primeiro Eu (Toninho Nascimento / Romildo)
02 - Nem Vem (Noel Rosa de Oliveira / Duduca / José Alves)
03 - Viagem de Jangada (Tião da Roça / Antônio Andrade)
04 - Quem É Bom Já Nasce Feito (Lino Roberto / Wilson Medeiros)
05 - Debruçado Em Meu Olhar (Toninho Nascimento / Romildo)
06 - Confesso Que Chorei (João Fonseca / Albano Silva)
07 - Lendas e Festas das Yabás (Aroldo Melodia / Leôncio da Silva)
