Elza Soares - Licao de Vida (1976)

Elza Soares is all about Loronix and I was really missing her. It has been four months since the last Elza Soares release, which is almost a century in terms of Elza Soares popularity among Loronixers. I was really amazed by this album including the back cover featuring Elza Soares husband, Garrincha, one of the greatest soccer players in history. I spent a great time today browsing Ruy Castro's book on Garrincha, very well done with lots of information about Elza Soares. This album was recorded just before they split, after 15 years of marriage and has much of Elza Soares personal feelings of that time. Let's see.

This is Elza Soares - Licao de Vida (1976), for Tapecar, the third out of four albums recorded for Tapecar after the end of Elza Soares golden years at Odeon. Licao de Vida has is arranged by Ed Lincoln and Paulo Moura with musical direction by Ed Lincoln. Unfortunately, musicians in this session were not credited and could not be identified. I don't want to keep you busy with my writing. Elza Soares is self-explanatory. And have a nice weekend with Licao de Vida. Tracks include:
