Laura Villa

Shamefully forgotten for years, this sumptuous album is an essential classic in terms of several tracks. Historically, it is one of the first Bossa Nova records to be recorded in Europe, Paris to be precise, the welcoming spot and creative home for a major Brazilian Diaspora. Amongst them, we find the musician Silvuca, behind a large majority of the shimmering arrangements on this record, perfectly showcasing Laura Villa’s warm and enveloping voice. Born Emilie Laura Facetti in Italy, she would discover Bossa Nova’s captivating melodies when in Lisbon at the end of the 50’s.
