Estrada branca tom jobim biography

1958 studio album by Elizete Cardoso

Canção do Amor Demais is a 1958 album by Elizete Cardoso.

It is often considered the first bossa novaalbum, and contains the first recordings of João Gilberto's guitar beat, which became a staple of bossa nova. Gilberto played guitar on "Chega de Saudade" and "Outra Vez".

The album Estrada Branca (White Road) brings the meeting of the voices of Mônica Salmaso and Portuguese singer and musician José Pedro Gil.

The music was composed by Vinícius de Moraes and Tom Jobim. Despite its historical importance, and although it was noticed by prominent people in the recording industry, the album's commercial impact was limited. It was released on the small Festa label, which had previously primarily made recordings featuring spoken poetry, and only two thousand copies were initially pressed.^[2] Cardoso was already recognized as one of the best singers Brazil had produced, but was not usually classified as a bossa singer; she was later featured on the legendary Black Orpheus soundtrack, another bossa landmark.^{[citation needed]}
