Beth Carvalho - Canto para um Novo Dia (1973)

Hello, good evening! Last week I found this early album recorded by one of the most important Brazilian Samba interpreters, Beth Carvalho, a requested artist at Loronix and one of our missing pieces with only one album released. This album was scheduled for the last Saturday, but I was so tired and felt asleep soon on that day. Anyway, I cannot wait until Saturday, and I hope you understand this extraordinary “Samba Monday”. Let’s see.

This is Beth Carvalho – Canto para um Novo Dia (1973), for Tapecar, Beth Carvalho second career LP and the first and only album recorded for Tapecar. By the way, the tiny and important Tapecar label delivers a lot of resources to Beth Carvalho, nice cover artworks with several pictures inside and a cast of best of breed Brazilian musicians, including arrangements by Cesar Camargo Mariano and participation of legends such like Nelson Cavaquinho, Geraldo Vespar, Ze Menezes, Dino 7 Cordas, Luizao, Martinho da Vila, among many others. Tracks include:
