Description
『Cartão Postal』は、1970年代初頭のブラジリアン・ファンク・ソウルの名盤として、初めて再発されることとなった一枚。特に注目すべきは、MarcosとPaulo Sergio Valleによる「Que bandeira」や、Evinhaの兄Renato Corrêaとの共作である「Esperar Prá Ver」などの素晴らしいアップテンポの名曲たち。
このアルバムは、ブラジリアン・ソウル・ファンクのクラシック作品として、そのジャンルの最も偉大なアルバムたちに並ぶ名盤。オリジナル・テープからリマスタリングされ、180gのヴァイナルにプレスされている。今後、さらに多くのブラジリアン・クラシックが再発されるシリーズの一部として登場。
『Cartão Postal』は、Evinhaがソロ活動を本格的にスタートさせた1971年にOdeon Brazilからリリースされたアルバムで、彼女のキャリアの中でも重要な位置を占める作品。このアルバムは、Evinhaが1961年から1968年まで兄妹のMárioとReginaとともに活動していたTrio Esperança時代の影響を色濃く感じさせるものでもある。
このアルバムには、ファンクやソウル、ボッサ、MPBのグルーヴを見事に融合させた「Que bandeira」や、Evinhaの兄でGolden BoysのメンバーでもあったRenato Corrêaとの共作によるミッドテンポのファンク・ソウル「Esperar Prá Ver」、サンバ・ソウルな「Só Quero」、さらにはTrio Esperança時代のエッセンスを感じさせる「Por Mera Coincidência」や「Rico Sem Dinheiro」などが収められており、どれも心に残るアレンジと印象的なベースラインが特徴的。全体を通して、Evinhaと彼女の仲間たちによる、繊細でありながら力強い音楽が息づいている。

DESCRIPTION
"Cartão Postal" was originally released on Odeon Brazil in 1971, a few years after Evinha started her solo career. From 1961 to 1968 she was a member of Trio Esperança, alongside her brothers Mário and Regina. In 1969 Evinha won first prize at the Festival Internacional da Cançao Popular and her discography for Odeon took off.
"Cartão Postal", her third solo album, comprises some outstanding gems. Songs like ‘Que bandeira’, by Marcos Valle, Paulo Sérgio Valle and Mariozinho Rocha, that moves between funk/soul and bossa/MPB grooves; the stellar ‘Esperar Prá Ver’, co-written by Evinha’s brother Renato Corrêa who also happened to be a member of the Golden Boys, is a mid-tempo funk soul number that features stunning arrangements and an epic bassline that is hard to be forgotten… ‘Só Quero’ emanates samba soul sounds while songs like ‘Por Mera Coincidência’ or ‘Rico Sem Dinheiro’ resemble what Trio Esperança was doing at the time: vocal-driven groovy jams spiced with celestial strings arrangements and heavy-duty drums and basslines, which is not surprising since they both worked with the same producers and arrangers, as they were all Odeon artists.
