ELZA SOARES – The Woman At The End Of The World
LP – Black Vinyl
Teaming up with the cream of São Paulo’s avant-garde musicians Elza has delivered an album of apocalyptic, experimental rock-influenced samba sujo (‘dirty samba’). Over a sprawl of distorted guitars, squalling horns, taught strings and electronic shards, samba is savaged by rock ‘n’ roll, free-jazz, noise and other experimental music forms as Elza sings, spits and screams tales of a life in Brazil that is anything but a tropical paradise. A true legend of Brazilian music Elza has an incredible musical oeuvre that stretches back over seven decades mixing samba with jazz, soul, funk, hip hop and electronica, whilst her life-story is a rags-to-riches-to-rags rollercoaster of triumphs and tragedies that has made her a voice for Brazil’s repressed female, black, gay and working class populations.
