Falso brilhante (1976)

The door into the great interpreters. Elis Regina wrote few songs herself; her art was in what she did with other people's, and this 1976 album, drawn from her stage show, is its peak. Her reading of Belchior's Como Nossos Pais turns a song about a generation repeating its parents' mistakes into something furious and desperate. Choose it to hear why Brazilian listeners treat singers, not just writers, as authors.
