Description
Carmen Miranda is the greatest female singer in Brazilian music history. In the 1930s Brazilian music was at its peak of creativity and it was Carmen Miranda who was at every turn of each innovative musical trend as the country's leading star. Through these recordings it's possible to get to know how Brazilian music developed into the great force it was to become. Carmen Miranda is also one of Brazil's most misunderstood artists, as she is known to some only through her American recordings or her Hollywood mos. Indeed these masterpieces are generally lesser known and surprisingly not easily available until now. This album follows her time in Brazil and tells the story of how Carmen Miranda and Brazilian music developed together. Includes extensive liner notes and rare recordings by the 'Empress of Samba'.
