Beth Carvalho - Pra Seu Governo (1974)

I though we would have only male main performers today until I saw this nice record by an important Samba interpreter that never had an album at Loronix. Actually, Beth Carvalho takes part as vocalist on Conjunto 3-D - Muito na Onda (1967), but never had a career album. Let's see.

This is Beth Carvalho - Pra Seu Governo (1974), for Tapecar, the third solo LP by Beth Carvalho, featuring a true constellation of Brazilian musicians. This is an early Beth Carvalho recording before the years she addopted the "pagode" style, supporting several new artist that became famous, such as: Luiz Carlos da Vila, Jorge Aragao, Zeca Pagodinho, Almir Guineto, Fundo de Quintal, Arlindo Cruz, Sombrinha, Moacyr Luz and Quinteto em Branco e Preto. Pra Seu Governo is arranged by Paulo Moura and Orlando Silveira. I'm urging Loronixers to feedback this release. Tracks include:

  3. A fantastic record. Sort of reminds of a samba Nara! Great Voice. I thanked you before for introducing me to Nara Leao and other great Brazilian music---to0 many to list. Without a doubt Loronix is the most important & knowledgable Brazilian music website out there. Without this site, I would be clueless about Brazilian music. I enjoy learning and reading about the albums. You've made me a life-long fan of the music of Brazil and of Brazil in general. ...Beth Carvalho is rather good, great LP.
