Reissue of the 1975 self-titled debut album from Brazilian vocalist and bossa nova luminary Emilio Santiago. Nicknamed 'The Nat King Cole of Brazil', Santiago was a master bossa balladeer and a top-class crooner. But he is known equally for his Brazilian funk, soul and boogie classics. One of his best known is album opener 'Bananeira', a party-starting version of the song originally written by Joao Donato and Gilberto Gil. 'Brother' is a smooth-grooving killer with great horn arrangements and a huge backing choir, while 'La Mulata' is a soulful, swinging salsa stepper. Originally released on the CID label, the album showcases the full range of Emilio's talents, while paying homage to some of Brazil's greatest composers, including Jorge Ben, Marcos and Sergio Valle and Ivan Lins among others.
