Elizeth Cardoso - Elizeth, A Cantadeira do Amor (1978)

I received a recommendation from AdHoc to look for Elizeth Cardoso LPs released in the 70's and never made available before at Loronix. I want to say that AdHoc was right, this is the second late 70's Elizeth Cardoso at Loronix and both are really pleasing. This one comes as a double LP, with 26 songs and 90 minutes running time. Elizeth Cardoso should keep everybody busy in the forthcoming days. Let's see.

This is Elizeth Cardoso - Elizeth, A Cantadeira do Amor (1978), for Copacabana, featuring 26 songs split in four groups, Suplica (Side A), Memoria (Side B), Solidao (Side C) and Esperanca (Side D). The songs keep the identification on each group theme, on this nice and very well produced album arranged by Sergio Carvalho and featuring a constellation of Brazilian musicians, everything described on Personnel listing. Tracks include:

I have only listened to the first two songs, and already I know this is going to be one of my favorite Elizete albums! Such a variety of musicians and songs, it's really great. Thanks for finding and uploading this.

Zeca,
Nice of you remembering about this record. It has a fine mix of mpb and older styles, and Elizeth's performance is competent as usual. As a matter of fact, all of her albums are no less than very good, and this one is no exception. The cover is a little bit corny, but I ended up liking it. I believe the Lp (or was it a CD?) was re-released later with different art cover and a more discrete heart. Cheers! AdHoc

Fell in love with the Elizeth Interpreta Vinicius LP (one listen to Consolacao and that was it) ...and now this! It's so gratifying to discover this great music and know that it is being kept alive. Thank you for doing this.
