We are thrilled to reissue for the first time one of the best and most sought-after Brazilian funk-soul albums from the early \u201970s.<\/p>\n
“Cart\u00e3o Postal” was originally released on Odeon Brazil in 1971, a few years after Evinha started her solo career. From 1961 to 1968 she was a member of Trio Esperan\u00e7a, alongside her brothers M\u00e1rio and Regina. In 1969 Evinha won first prize at the Festival Internacional da Can\u00e7ao Popular and her discography for Odeon took off.<\/p>\n
“Cart\u00e3o Postal”, her third solo album, comprises some outstanding gems. Songs like \u2018Que bandeira\u2019, by Marcos Valle, Paulo S\u00e9rgio Valle and Mariozinho Rocha, that moves between funk\/soul and bossa\/MPB grooves; the stellar \u2018Esperar Pr\u00e1 Ver\u2019, co-written by Evinha\u2019s brother Renato Corr\u00eaa who also happened to be a member of the Golden Boys, is a mid-tempo funk soul number that features stunning arrangements and an epic bassline that is hard to be forgotten\u2026 \u2018S\u00f3 Quero\u2019 emanates samba soul sounds while songs like \u2018Por Mera Coincid\u00eancia\u2019 or \u2018Rico Sem Dinheiro\u2019 resemble what Trio Esperan\u00e7a was doing at the time: vocal-driven groovy jams spiced with celestial strings arrangements and heavy-duty drums and basslines, which is not surprising since they both worked with the same producers and arrangers, as they were all Odeon artists.<\/p>\n
Ridiculously rare and expensive now, and at the top of many collectors\u2019 wants lists for decades, it\u2019s finally reissued here after years unavailable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
