Celia

Description

Celia Regina Cruz recorded four self-titled albums for Continental between 1971 and 1977, 'Amor' in 1982 plus several more before she sadly passed away late in 2017.

Celia was a Brazilian vocalist who worked frequently with master
arranger-composer Arthur Verocai in her early years and many other heavyweights over the course of her extensive career.

This, her second self-titled LP from 1972, features an all-star line up
including Arthur Verocai, Erasmo Carlos, Roberto Carlos, Marcos Valle, Antonio
Carlos Jobim, Nonato Buzar and Vinicius de Moraes amongst others.

Celia's version of 'Na Boca do Sol' – taken from this album – is arguably her
most well-known and well-loved song. An incredible take on Verocai's original,
featuring waling fuzz guitars, strings, piano, horns and drums.
Needless to say clean, original versions of this record now change hands for
silly money!

Features an exclusive insert of a translated interview with Celia, completed in 2011 in her hometown of Sao Paulo. Focusing, in particular on her recording work with Arthur Verocai, it showcases her wonderful sense of humour and how she was embracing her new legion of fans, particularly in the world of hip hop.
