“Born in Rio de Janeiro, Samba great and jazz diva Elza Soares is applauded around the world for her husky voice and samba-scat singing. She enjoyed a long string of hits during the 60s and 70s, and later came back and took the world by storm when Caetano Velosa tapped her to do a duet in the mid-80s.
Elza Soares was voted one of the ten artists of the millennium in 2000 by the BBC. After five years without recording, and a discography of 26 titles ranging from pop hits to intellectual cults and extensive ostracism, Elza took back the status and aura of a controversial diva, world singer and spokeswoman of Negritude in 2000.
Elza is a samba legend, recognized by successive generations, and with an intuitive talent for jazz and improvisation that rank her with Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. Her 27th disc did not hide the breadth of her outstanding vocal technique or the natural resources that make her a rare phenomenon. In it, she transcended the boundaries that left her with one foot in samba and the other in jazz. Do Cóccix até o Pescoço portrayed the other side of MPB, “Brazilian black music.”
With her ripping vocals and unique timbre, this artist has instinctively arrived at a synthesis of African-American and Brazilian music. Her unrivalled swing and improvisation rank her among the great American ladies of jazz and blues, their spiritual sister, because her voice betrays a life that could have been drowned in sorrow but was miraculously transformed into generous, peerless song.”
