Elza Soares - Mas Que Nada - 7-INCH SINGLE [7 inch Vinyl Disc]

Back in stock due to popular demand, the 66th in our signature Brazil 45's series. Two supreme MPB/bossa-nova cuts courtesy of our leading Brazil 45's lady, Claudia.On the A side, 'Deixa o Morro Cantar' features on Claudia's very first 7Inch, released in 1965 by RGE Brazil. A classy, horn-infused number that really brings out the warming tone of Claudia's iconic voice. Take to the flip for Claudia's version of the legendary 'Mas Que Nada'. It's a jazzier, folk-funk take on the Jorge Ben classic, that provides a great alternative version of this timeless song.

Nao Nasci Pra Jogador' is another long-term, firm favourites of ours. Tough uptempo MPB-samba grooves and a classic vocal to match. Cesar is a prolific composer/singer and recorded many albums and singles for labels including CID, RCA and Odeon.'Princesa Negra de Angola' is a stomping uptempo disco-funk crossover from the super-proflic samba-rock legend, Bebeto. A brilliant record, originally available on a 4-track compacto and on his 'Esperanc 807;as Mil' LP. Album Tracks 1. Silvio Cesar - Nao Nasci P'ra Jogador 2. Bebeto -Princesa Negra de Angola

Two classic cuts from Jorge Ben and Miriam Makeba take either side of this Mr Bongo Brazil 45 reissue.'Xica Da Silva' is one of Jorge Ben's most well-known and well-loved cuts, housed on the legendary Africa Brazil LP that deserves a place in every collection. A magical MPB cut, it instantly transports you to the shores of Rio de Janeiro. With a low-slung funky samba flavour, Ben's absorbing vocal recounts the legend of one of Brazil's oldest black icons.On the flip side, Miriam Makeba serves up an entrancing, slowed-down, grooved-out version of 'Xica da Silva'. A highly influential singer, songwriter, and civil rights activist from South Africa, this low and slow interpretation is doused in strutting guitar, off-beat piano stabs and hypnotic drums providing the perfect to let Miriam's vocal shine through. Remastered with refreshed artwork.
