DESCRIPTION
Famous Sambista and actress Doris Monteiro was born in Rio in 1934 and had a career spanning over 60 years. This Samba Rock classic was penned by Jorge Ben Jr. Another gem discovered at the legendary Tony’s Hits in São Paulo — one of Mr Bongo’s all-time favourite digging spots. Taken from her self-titled 1970 LP on Odeon Brazil. Previously unreleased on 7".
Quarteto Em Cy were a prolific and hugely popular Samba/MPB group composed of four sisters from Ibirataia in Bahia. Tudo Que Você Podia Ser is one of our all-time favourite Brazilian songs, originally written by Milton Nascimento & Lô Borges, and featured on their seminal Clube da Esquina LP.
This version is taken from Quarteto’s 1972 LP on Odeon. It was also released on a 7" in 1972, in a unique Brazilian-style 4-track EP, cut at 33rpm — a lovely idea, though not the best for sound quality!
