Description
The voice, the playing, the writing, they all combine to make her a true
allrounder. She possesses the ability to transport, captivate and transcend
listeners. With a career that has spanned more than 30 albums and over 50
years, she continues to record and tour the world.
‘Aldeia de Ogum’ is one of her most well-known songs. With a joyfully
jazzy arrangement, building Latin percussion, Brazilian flute and tropical
atmosphere, this full-bodied samba smash became an anthem amongst
London’s DJs and dancers in the Acid Jazz days. A favourite of Patrick
Forge and Gilles Peterson, it was regularly spun at their legendary
Dingwalls sessions.
Originally featured on her sought after Feminina LP from 1980, it also
appears on our 'Essential' Joyce compilation from 1997. The original
pressing of this Brazil 45 was the first time the track had been released on
7".
A fellow Rio native, Rosinha was a highly acclaimed composer, arranger
and guitarist who played with legends including Baden Powell, Sérgio
Mendes and Sivuca.
Here we present her stunning cover of the Gershwin classic,
‘Summertime’. Rosinha’s elegant, instrumental interpretation showcases
her majestic guitar playing, and what a player she was! Backed with
beautifully arranged, emotion-drenched strings, this track is guaranteed to
stir your soul.
'Summertime' is taken from her 1975 RCA LP entitled Um Violão Em
Primeiro Plano. The original pressing of this Brazil45 was the first time the
track had been released on 7".
