Aldair Soares - A Volta Da Jangada & Deixa Eu Ir Pai from Todos Cantam Sua Terra - Som (1972)

In my opinion, A Volta Da Jangada is one of the finest Brazilian ballads ever recorded. The song has all of the best elements of a ballad: moodiness, great singing and a haunting melody. The touch of spritely Brazilian percussion nods to the Northeast. The bulk of Aldair Soares's recordings were 78rpms from the 1950s. Venâncio and Corumba and Trio Marayá also recorded songs in this style, and Trio Marayá recorded at least one Soares composition. Deixa Eu Ir Pai is similar to A Volta De Jangada, with cool chorus that surprises. Sometimes, the small details allow a standard genre song to transcend the confines of convention.
