Elza Soares - Negra Elza, Elza Negra (1980)

Hello, good evening! Yesterday, we made an "agreement" to release Elza Soares at Loronix today. Actually, I had others in my scheduled, but for an external problem (technology issues), my resources are limited only to Elza Soares, which a really nice pick, our last Elza Soares release was made in 17 November 2007, almost three months, a very long time without Elza Soares. Let's see.

This is Elza Soares - Elza Negra, Negra Elza (1980), for Columbia. Across her vast recording career, Elza Soares had many arrangers supporting her albums, such as Nelsinho, Oswaldo Borba, Astor Silva, Ribamar and Severino Araujo in the 60's, Dom Salvador and Ed Lincoln in the 70's and now Elza Soares start the 80's with Joao de Aquino, Brazilian composer, guitarist and arranger, cousin of Baden Powell de Aquino.
