(Latin Jazz, Bossa Nova) Elis Regina - Elis, essa saudade - 2021, MP3, 320 kbps

Elis Regina - vocals
Raul Ellwanger - vocals

Elis – Essa Saudade recovers the rare track Pequeno Exilado, recorded as a duet with Raul Ellwanger and out of print for 41 years; alternative version of Alô Alô Marciano also enters streaming platforms for the first time. It seems a lie, but in January 2022, it will be forty years since Brazil lost one of its greatest singers: Elis Regina. And what is even more amazing is the fact that Elis is so important in Brazilian popular music. It is celebrated by contemporary fans of its records and shows, conquering new and attentive listeners and influencing new artists. For this reason, the collection Elis – Essa Saudade, which arrives in physical and digital format on December 3rd, is necessary.
Celebrating Elis, this absence so present, pardon the antithesis, is never enough. This compilation produced by journalists Danilo Casaletti and Renato Vieira is based on the final phase of the singer's career, especially her passage through Warner, the company in which Elis released two important studio albums, Essa Mulher (1979) and Saudade do Brasil (1980 ), plus two posthumous live albums. During this same period, Elis participated in an album by singer-songwriter Raul Ellwanger, who is like her from Rio Grande do Sul. The song they sang together, Pequeno Exilado, was never reissued and was released for the first time in digital format in Elis – Essa Saudade, in response to an old request from Elis' admirers.
