Nara Leao – Nara (Clear Vinyl) [LP]

Originally released in Brazil in 1963, this is Nara Leao’s debut album. A marvelous first statement from an artist usually recognized as the Muse of Bossa Nova. A great piece of Brazilian art featuring warm arrangements of solid compositional material signed by the likes of Edu Lobo, Vinicius DeMoraes, and Baden Powell — and of course Nara Leao’s beautiful, soft and super-sensitive vocals.
