Reissued (for the first time) and remastered from the original tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl.

Possibly one of the best and most sought-after Brazilian funk-soul albums from the early 1970s. It includes some outstanding uptempo gems like Marcos and Paulo Sérgio Valle’s »Que Bandeira«, and the stellar »Esperar Prá Ver«, co-written by Evinha’s brother Renato Corrêa, who was also a member of the Golden Boys. This is a classic Brazilian soul-funk title, right up there with the greatest albums of the genre. Remastered from the original tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl, this release is part of a new reissue series that will include many other outstanding Brazilian classics.

Originally released on Odeon Brazil in 1971, a few years after Evinha started her solo career. From 1961 to 1968, she was a member of Trio Esperança, alongside her brothers Mário and Regina. In 1969, Evinha won first prize at the Festival Internacional da Canção Popular, and her discography for Odeon took off.

»Cartão Postal«, her third solo album, comprises some outstanding gems. Songs like »Que Bandeira«, by Marcos Valle, Paulo Sérgio Valle, and Mariozinho Rocha, move between funk/soul and bossa/MPB grooves; the stellar »Esperar Prá Ver«, co-written by Evinha’s brother Renato Corrêa, who was also a member of the Golden Boys, is a mid-tempo funk-soul number featuring stunning arrangements and an epic bassline that is hard to forget. »Só Quero« emanates samba-soul sounds, while songs like »Por Mera Coincidência« or »Rico Sem Dinheiro« resemble what Trio Esperança was doing at the time: vocal-driven groovy jams spiced with celestial string arrangements and heavy-duty drums and basslines. This is hardly surprising, as they all worked with the same producers and arrangers while recording for Odeon.
