Well, I gave this a listen -- or, as we might say here in Brazil, a listen-zinho (a little listen, a partial listen). Interesting, eccentric version of the great samba anthem (and fight song) "Não deixe o samba morrer," or "Don't let samba die." But this idea in the blurb that "She is considered the gretest singer of samba alive. . . ." I am aware that, some years back, BBC Radio named ES "the Brazilian singer of the millennium." But, with all due respect to the great BBC and the British people (whom I hold in highest esteem), Brits are about as competent to judge samba performance as Brazilians are to judge kidney pie or Eccles cake. Admittedly, that qualification "alive" (in the blurb) narrows the field considerably. It leaves samba singers such as Jamelão, Cartola, Nelson Cavaquinho, and Carlos Cachaça, all manifestly greater than Elza, out of the ranking, and that's merely to go hunting on the Morro de Mangueira. But, as long as Beth Carvalho, Martinho da Vila, Paulinho da Viola, Nelson Sargento and even, for that matter, Zeca Pagodinho hang on this side of the grave, she ain't gonna be even the greatest samba singer in the "alive" category. (And there are plenty of others who beat her out. How about Leci Brandão?) One last observation: Even if ES were the greatest samba singer alive, this is not the album to which you want to go to hear her sing samba. Tequila and Cha Cha Cha aren't even Brazilian songs, and, with all due respect to Cuban musical traditions, which are also extraordinary (in their place), even many of the Brazilian songs on this album are excessively Caribbeanized. I called the "Não Deixe o Samba Morrer," with which the album begins, interesting and eccentric. The "Chega de Saudade" with which it ends is just weird. Think I'll go now and get out João Gilberto's classic and never bettered renderings of "Chega de Saudade" to clear my head.
