Celia "Celia (1972)" CD

★Japan-exclusive paper jacket
★First press limited edition

The genius Arthur Verocai was in charge of all the arrangements! This extremely rare masterpiece by female singer Celia has finally been reissued on CD in a paper jacket exclusive to Japan!

The alternate version of the sampled classic "Na Boca do Sol" that was also included on Verocai's own album is just killer! In addition, there are covers of Jobim and Marcos Valle, and Verocai's magical arrangements shine throughout this legendary album!

Brazilian singer Celia, known for her beautiful, deep vocals, is known for her four self-titled albums released in the 70s, but this second album (released in 1972) is particularly famous among her works. This album was arranged entirely by Arthur Verocai, the genius arranger/composer who released the miraculous first album "Arthur Verocai" in the same year, and it is an extremely rare album that has been desperately sought after not only by Brazilian music fans but also by DJs and collectors. The highlight of the album is the different version of the sampling classic "Na Boca Do Sol" that was also included on the Verocai album, but other attractive songs include "A Hora E Essa" and "Detalhes" by Erasmo Carlos/Roberto Carlos, "Dominus Tecum" by Marcos Valle, and "E Preciso Dizer Adeus" by Antonio Carlos Jobim/Vinicius de Moraes. From funky psychedelia to mellow folky ballads and jazzy MPB, Celia's presence is truly reliable as she effortlessly navigates a diverse range of music, all colored by Verocai's distinctive vivid, three-dimensional sound aesthetic.
