Description
Back in stock due to popular demand, the 12th release in our signature Brazil 45's series saw a reissue of two certified classics from Brazil's rich musical tapestry. On the A side, Brazilian Samba luminary Elza Soares, covers Jorge Ben's classic 'Mas Que Nada'. Originally featured on her brilliant 1970 Sambas & Mais Sambas LP on Odeon, it's tougher drums, punchy piano and Elza's stunning vocal tones make this a perfect dancefloor heater. With over 34 albums to her name in a career that spanned 60 years, Elza is a certified legend of Brazilian music.
Little is known about the artist responsible for the B side track, Elizabeth. Nicknamed 'Gatinha do Mato' (loosely translated as 'Jungle Cat') she was involved in the Jovem Guarda movement that fused rock n roll and youth culture with Brazilian styles in the '60s. 'Vou Falar-Lhe Francamente' is a majestic, horn-infused number laced with emotion, that we originally found at one of our favourite, now defunct, spots 'Tony's Hits' in Sao Paulo. The record was originally released on 7" on RGE in 1970.
