Elis Regina – Elis

Description

Released in 1972 by Philips Records, the album “Elis” introduced several new additions to Elis Regina’s career. It was the singer’s first album, produced by Roberto Menescal, who also helped select the repertoire by young composers, and the first with arrangements by pianist Csar Camargo Mariano, with whom Elis would begin a fruitful musical and emotional partnership. To accompany the singer, Csar (piano) enlisted the renowned musicians Hlio Delmiro (guitar), Luizo Maia (double bass), Paulinho Braga (drums), and Chico Batera(percussion).

Elis delivered more intimate interpretations, enhanced by the album’s sophisticated sound.

The excellent musical selection includes “20 anos blue” (Sueli Costa/Vitor Martins), “Bala com bala” (Joo Bosco/Aldir Blanc), “Cais” and “Nada ser como antes” (Milton Nascimento/Ronaldo Bastos), “Mucuripe” (Belchior/Fagner), “Atrs da porta” (Chico Buarque/Francis Hime), “Me deixa em paz” (Ivan Lins/Ronaldo Monteiro de Souza), “Casa no campo” (Z Rodrix/Tavito), and “guas de maro” (Antnio Carlos Jobim), among others. All of this makes “Elis” one of the best albums by Elis Regina and MPB.

Joo Marcello Bscoli, the singer’s son, remixed and remastered this exceptional album.
