Alaíde Costa - O Que Meus Calos Dizem Sobre Mim [2022]

Published on Sounds and Colours

Alaíde Costa has been singing bossa nova and samba tunes for a long time and is extremely good at it. The Brazilian's recording career dates back to the late 50s, and the slight rasp that age has given her voice works in its favor throughout O Que Meus Calos Dizem Sobre Mim. The majority of the album, which has production courtesy of Marcus Preto and Emcidia with the musical direction of Pupillo, is composed of songs written specifically for Costa. The fantastic horn and woodwind arrangements stand out in particular. Thanks to Costa's gorgeous singing, this album would still be successful in a more sparse format, and the elegance of the arrangements greatly enhances the material.
