Celia: Celia Vinyl LP

Self-titled 1972 LP from Celia Regina Cruz, the second full-length from the legendary Brazilian vocalist. The album, arranged by Arthur Verocai, features tracks written by an all-star line-up of musicians, including Eraso Carlos, Roberto Carlos, Marcos Valle, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Nonato Buzar, Vinicius de Moraes, etc, and it contains Cruz’s version of “Na Boca do Sol,” perhaps the best known and most beloved tune from the singer. Expect a lot of fuzz guitar, breezy string layers, jazzy horns, and funky drum work. Highlights include: “Dominus Tecum,” “E Preciso Dizer Adeus,” “Vida De Artista,” “Em Familia,” and the aforementioned track.
