RARE BRAZIL LPS

THIS WEEK WE'RE REDUCING THE BRAZIL COLLECTION;
ALL LPS ARE FROM OUR PRIVATE COLLECTION AND CARED FOR. 
ALL ARE BRAZIL ORIGINALS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED.

NOT A LOT OF NON-BRAZILIANS ARE INTO CLARA NUNES BUT IN MY OPINION SHE IS ONE THE GREATEST BRAZILIAN SINGERS,  SHE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST MILLION SELLING BRAZILIAN ARTISTS AND CONSIDERED THE "SAMBA QUEEN" BUT SHE HAD MANY STYLES, SOMETIMES ROOTSY SOMETIMES SOULFUL AND AT OTHER TIMES JAZZY.  SHE DIED YOUNG BUT HER LEGACY REMAINS STRONG TO THIS DAY.  IN MY OPINION, NO SERIOUS BRAZILIAN LP COLLECTION SHOULD BE WITHOUT SOME OF HER RECORDS.

ORIGINAL 1972 BRAZIL LP

 Clara Nunes "Clara Clarice Clara" (EMI-Odeon, 1972)
Heavenly! This is the first album where the full, unfettered, classic Clara Nunes samba sound really falls into place. Maestro Gaya helms again, but gives fuller rein to a more traditional Afro-Brazilian sound, unleashing thunderous, urgent drums, a playful cavaquinho, and impish, improvisatory cuica, and, of course, Clara's magnificent vocals, which have finally come into their own. Here, she is bright-sounding, confident, masterful and able to ride atop the music as only the greatest musicians can. The interplay between her and the musician, particularly the guitar and cavaquinho, has a tremendous fullness to it... All around, this is gloriously rich material, the first of her truly classic albums, in which the Clara Nunes of legend emerges, a superstar. Her allegiance to the samba schools emerges as paramount, beginning with the opening track, Nelson Cavaquinho's "Sempre Mangueira," and embraces the cream of the crop of modern samba composers: more Joao Nogueira, Candeia, Dorival Caymmi, Cartola, and a slight, passing nod towards the modern MPB scene, with a jovem guarda-ish cover of Caetano Veloso's "Clarice."  - REVIEW FROM SLIPCUE.COM
