Alibi

by Maria Bethania

Overview

This is the CD reissue of the 1978 LP Alibi, which sold one million copies, projecting Maria Bethania as a popular romantic artist after her being inadvertently connected with protest songs due to her success at the show Opiniao. "Alibi," a bolero by Djavan, "O Meu Amor" (Chico Buarque) with special guest Alcione, and "Explode Coracao" (Gonzaguinha) all became hits in her interpretation, solidifying her expression in a contemporary, deep romanticism freed from the excesses of the past Brazilian tradition. She also pays tribute to Lupicinio Rodrigues ("Negue"), and interprets other hits like "Ronda" (Paulo Vanzolini), the unofficial anthem of the city of Sao Paulo. ~ Alvaro Neder
