Homero Franca / Silvinha - Quero Ver Voce Sambar / Mas Nao Deixe De Ir
LABEL: Mr BongoReleased on a 7" compacto on Chantecler Records in 1976; the song was cowritten by Aloisio Silvinha, who was the composer behind the tripped- out, instrumental monster track 'Tema, R'. Hidden on the B-side of an obscure lost 7", 'Quero Ver Voce Sambar' is soulful samba at its fnest, with a beautiful call-andresponse chorus, it brings the heat to the dancefoor.Vocalist Silvinha Aranjo graced us with a number of wonderful recordings in the 60s and 70s, including collaborations with her husband Eduardo Araujo. 'Mas Nao Deixe De Ir' is taken from Silvinha's 1969 album 'Caminho Sobre Nuvens' on Odeon Recordings. The backing track loosely resembles Archie Bell & The Drells classic 'Tighten Up', and here Silvinha's take gives the track a new twist, blessing it with her uniquely powerful, gravelly vocals that effortlessly ride the breakbeat. At just over two minutes long, it's short but powerful.
