Non-Zorn: Anyone into Nara Leão (Brazilian bossa)?
Hi all, Anyone into Brazilian bossa/MPB, specifically the work of superb singer/guitarist Nara Leão? I'm clearing out FIVE NEW (100% mint) Japanese discs... some of her absolute best material from 1964 to 1971. All are remastered, and come with OBI strips. # Nara Leão - "Nara (1964)" JAP CD (Philips: PHCA-4217) 1998/1964 # Nara Leão - "O Canto Livre De Nara" JAP CD (Universal: UICY-3080) 2000/1965 # Nara Leão - "Vento De Maio" JAP CD (Mercury: PHCY-3005) 2000/1967 # Nara Leão - "Nara Leão (1968)" JAP CD (Philips: PHCA-4230) 1998/1968 # Nara Leão - "Dez Anos Depois" JAP CD (Philips: PHCA-4211) 1998/1971 "Dez Anos Depois" is exquisite, with a real Euro feel as she does the "classics". "1968" is her Tropicalia album (wonderful arrangements). The rest, esp. her debut, and "O Canto..." are simply prime bossa from the era of early Astrud Gilberto. Any one of these would make a great introduction to her work. Guaranteed cheaper than Dusty Groove, or ordering direct from Japan! Email if interested. -Patrick pm.carey@utoronto.ca
