Clara Nunes - Clara Nunes (1971)


I want to say that 2008 has been a great year to Loronix. Since January, our community is growing on daily basis, and today something very interesting happened, it was the day Loronix received more visitors since the creation. I would like to say thank you to everybody, no matter how long you are part of this community, no matter where are your from, no matter what you do. Growth is a very important piece of our strategy, makes our community viable and stronger. Thanks once again for this great start of 2008.

This is Clara Nunes - Clara Nunes (1971), for Odeon, a transitional album from the early Clara Nunes Bossa Nova years to the style where she definitively shines as one of the greatest Brazilian Samba interpreters ever. This self-titled album brings several well known Clara Nunes tunes and also landmarks the first out of several participations of Maestro Lindolpho Gaya as Musical Director. Maestros Orlando Silveira, Nelsinho, Lindolpho Gaya and Jose Roberto deliver arrangers on individual tracks; unfortunately, Odeon did not credit musicians. Tracks include:
