Classic Brazilian 60s Bossa with loads of killer tunes: "Berimbau", "Consolocao", "Nana" and more "Her debut... an absolutely beautiful album, originally recorded for the Elenco label. Smart, warm arrangements, and Leao's budding voice is in top form. This album came out just before the military coup in Brazil, and during a time when the budding bossa nova scene was starting to splinter and factionalize... For her part, Leao chose to delve into the music of the favelas, recording sambas de morro by the likes of Ze Keti, Nelson Cavaquinho and Cartola, as well as newer material by bossa songwriters Carlos Lyra and Edu Lobo, as well as a bunch of stuff by Vinicius de Moraes and Baden Powell. Highly recommended!"
