Graced by the exquisite arrangements of Roberto Menescal, The Voice of Brazil combines Elis Regina s masterful 1968 LP, Elis, Como e Porque (Elis, How and Why) with recordings made a year later in London where Menescal teamed with Peter Knight (of Moody Blues fame). Although the flawless album she made in 1974 with Tom Jobim is regarded internationally as one of the great treasures of Bossa Nova, almost three decades after her death Elis remains one of the music world's best-kept’secrets, a truly great’singer who deserves to be recognised beyond her beloved Brazil. Stylistically, Elis Regina is part Dusty Springfield, part Blossom Dearie, considered to be part of the Tropicalia family.
