Ce´lia recorded four self-titled albums for Continental between 1971 and 1977, 'Amor' in 1982 plus several more before she sadly passed away late in 2017, aged 70. This is her debut album from 1970. Ce´lia was a Brazilian vocalist who worked frequently with master arranger-composer Arthur Verocai in her early years and many other heavyweights over the course of her extensive career. Joyce was particularly supportive in the making of this album, writing the beautiful "Abrace Paul McCartney" and her husband at the time, Nelson A^ngelo, recorded some of the songs. Features an exclusive insert of a translated interview with Celia, completed in 2011 in her hometown of Sa~o Paulo. Focusing, in particular on her recording work with Arthur Verocai, it showcases her wonderful sense of humour and how she was embracing her new legion of fans, particularly in the world of hip hop. Official Mr Bongo reissue. Licensed from Warner Music."Celia (1970)" is a classic Brazilian album by singer Celia, here presented as a high-quality CD edition from specialist reissue label Mr Bongo. Originally released in 1970 at the height of Brazil's fertile post-bossa era, the record blends soulful vocals with psychedelic touches, orchestral arrangements and the sophisticated harmonies of MPB (Música Popular Brasileira). Across the album, Celia's rich, emotive voice moves effortlessly between tender ballads and powerful, rhythm-driven tracks, creating a deeply atmospheric listening experience that feels both timeless and distinctive. The production is warm and organic, highlighting live instrumentation, grooving percussion and lush string and horn sections that give the songs a cinematic, almost spiritual soul character. This CD edition is ideal for collectors and new listeners alike who appreciate the crossroads between Brazilian music, jazz, soul and subtle psych influences, and want a focused, album-length journey rather than a compilation.
Celia was a Brazilian singer celebrated for her expressive, jazz-inflected phrasing and the intensity of her performances. Emerging in the late 1960s and early 1970s, she became a cult figure among connoisseurs of Brazilian music, particularly for her early albums that pushed MPB in more adventurous, soulful directions. Over the years, her recordings have become highly sought after in DJ and collector circles, especially for their deep grooves, sophisticated arrangements and emotive interpretations. While she never became a mainstream international star, her work has earned enduring respect among fans of Brazilian funk, soul and MPB, and her 1970 album is often singled out as one of her defining statements, frequently rediscovered and celebrated in reissue and crate-digging culture.
