Album Notes & Community Reviews
Countering the quiet, whispered elegance typical of early bossa nova, Elza Soares injects 'Sambossa' with an incredibly raspy, heavily syncopated vocal power. Her unique, scat-like phrasing bridges the gap between traditional Rio samba and aggressive American rhythm and blues, effectively laying the groundwork for the ensuing sambalan莽o movement. It is a wildly rhythmic, fiercely energetic masterpiece of Brazilian popular music.
