PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

NARA LEAO
Nara
ODEON
ORIGINAL BRAZIL LP

ARRANGED BY ROGERIO DUPRAT

Nara Leao "Nara Leao" (Philips, 1968) 
Officially, this is her "tropicalia" album, though it isn't nearly as out there or as engaging as anything the for-real tropicalistas were doing as the time (or her earlier Manha De Liberdade album, from a couple of years earlier). This includes several early Caetano Veloso compositions, but it's still musically rather standard fare. Musical director Rogerio Duprat (who soon after would work on Gal Costa's most crazy psychedelic albums) seems a bit at a loss for how to tackle this one, and sticks to chanson-style arrangements. Mostly, the band seems a bit stale and sometimes drowns out or slightly overshadows Leao's vocals, which otherwise are quite lovely. This album is not "bad" by a longshot, but I found it oddly unengaging.

COVER:  VG+ -- CARDBOARD BOOKLET SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT
VINYL: VG MINUS  -- LOTS OF LIGHT SCUFFS, PLAYS GREAT WITH LIGHT NOISE IN PARTS - CHECK CLIPS FROM ACTUAL RECORD FOR SOUND QUALITY
