Album Notes & Community Reviews

Elba Ramalho's sophomore album firmly established her as a fiery, explosive interpreter of Northeastern Brazilian rhythms within the MPB landscape. 'Capim do vale' is a highly energetic celebration of forr贸, xote, and frevo, anchored by her theatrical, charismatic vocal delivery. It significantly helped popularize the regional sounds of the Nordeste to mainstream urban audiences.
