CLARA NUNES
s/t
ODEON
ORIGINAL 1972 BRAZIL MONO LP

Clara Nunes "Clara Clarice Clara" (EMI-Odeon, 1972)
Heavenly! This is the first album where the full, unfettered, classic Clara Nunes samba sound really falls into place. Maestro Gaya helms again, but gives fuller rein to a more traditional Afro-Brazilian sound, unleashing thunderous, urgent drums, a playful cavaquinho, and impish, improvisatory cuica, and, of course, Clara's magnificent vocals, which have finally come into their own. Here, she is bright-sounding, confident, masterful and able to ride atop the music as only the greatest musicians can. The interplay between her and the musician, particularly the guitar and cavaquinho, has a tremendous fullness to it... All around, this is gloriously rich material, the first of her truly classic albums, in which the Clara Nunes of legend emerges, a superstar. Her allegiance to the samba schools emerges as paramount, beginning with the opening track, Nelson Cavaquinho's "Sempre Mangueira," and embraces the cream of the crop of modern samba composers: more Joao Nogueira, Candeia, Dorival Caymmi, Cartola, and a slight, passing nod towards the modern MPB scene, with a jovem guarda-ish cover of Caetano Veloso's "Clarice."  (REVIEW BY SLIPCUE.COM)
