Elizete Cardoso - Canção Do Amor Demais

New wave girl from Ipanema

Known in her native Brazil as “The Divina”, Cardoso’s Canção Do Amor Demais is accepted as being the first bossa nova album ever released, thanks to guitarist João Gilberto’s invention of the bossa beat. Reflecting the anti-intellectual stance of the music, Cardoso’s performances focused on joyous expression, yet she also infused them with a pathos which mirrored her own life. Originally released on the Festa label, all of the songs were written by Brazilian legends Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes.
