A long hard look at Brazil... part 11




In Brazil it's considered bad luck to turn down an artistic collaboration. Here you have a song called 'Tudo que você podia ser' which Lô Borges wrote for Milton Nascimento to sing on Clube Da Esquinha. That same year it's taken up by Quarteto Em Cy, former backing singers for Chico Buarque amongst others. Their version is produced and arranged by Edu Lobo. Confused yet? All you need to do is listen to those unique close harmonies. That should do it. Quarteto em cy is a quartet of 4 female singers whose names begin with Cy (it's true, I swear). Ain't that something?


It's on this self-titled 1972 album, which is a groovy, easy-on-the-ears collection of melodic, kinda folky covers, all sung to perfection by the quartet, who sound like they're born to sing together.
