Album Notes & Community Reviews
Introducing an immensely dark, deeply tragic new voice to Brazilian popular music, this stunning debut was privately funded but quickly became a massive, unprecedented sensation. Her incredibly deep, smoky vocal timbre and original, heartbreak-obsessed compositions perfectly epitomized the dramatic, 'dor-de-cotovelo' (elbow-pain) aesthetic of late samba-can莽茫o. The lushly orchestrated, profoundly melancholic record established her as a fiercely independent, highly influential icon of pre-bossa nova Rio.
