Jovelina Perola Negra - Jovelina Perola Negra (1985)

Hello, good evening! It was very hard to make choices today with the options I had available. The options were many, with solid records, but I think it is time to highlight an artist never introduced before and also make available a genuine Samba album for the weekend. Jovelina Perola Negra was discovered during the 80's, starting her recording career with the age of 41, a late recording debut, such like Clementina de Jesus. Actually, if you are familiar with Clementina de Jesus music, Jovelina Perola Negra should also be your choice. Let's see.

This is Jovelina Perola Negra - Jovelina Perola Negra (1985), for RGE, her acclaimed debut LP, with Jovelina Perola Negra unique and swinging voice, on top of a Samba repertoire featuring Nei Lisboa, Monarco, Wilson Moreira, Nei Lopes and a couple of her own compositions. The back cover brings detailed session information, but personnel listing is surprisingly missing. I hope you enjoy this album on an anticipated Samba Saturday at Loronix. Tracks include:

01 - O Dia Se Zangou (Ratinho / Mauro Diniz)
02 - Pagode no Serrado (Zeca Sereno / Marquinhos Pagodeiro)
03 - Boogie-woogie da Favela (Serginho Meriti)
04 - Preparado da Vovó (Jovelina Pérola Negra / Zeca Sereno / Tatão)
05 - Menina Você Bebeu (Beto Sem Braço / Acyr Marques / Arlindo Cruz)
06 - Água de Poço (Jovelina Pérola Negra)
07 - Laços e Pedaços (Wilson Moreira / Nei Lopes)
08 - Rabo de Saia (Monarco / Betinho da Balança)
09 - Maria Tristeza (Paulo Vizinho / Jorge Professor)
10 - Camarão Com Xuxu (Nei Lopes)
11 - Chora Viola (Adilson Torquato / Valdomiro)
12 - É Isso Que Eu Mereço (Jovelina Pérola Negra / Zeca Sereno)
