The Woman At The End Of The World (A Mulher Do Fim Do Mundo)

by Elza Soares

supported by

Faisal Jewell Mulher do fim do mundo is the Best Song on the Album. It sounds like a Punk-Samba Song. Favorite track: Mulher do fim do mundo.

Jacampanman Released in 2016, but destined to become one of my favourite discoveries of 2020! Sort of art-samba-punk! If you like Meta Meta, you're going to love this! Excellent stuff. Favorite track: Firmeza.

Ursula's Crow Set amongst a burnt-out urban landscape, Elza's voice crackles with energy and age. This is a woman rediscovering her expressive edge. Favorite track: Benedita.

about

‘One of the year’s most original and exhilarating listens’ PITCHFORK (BEST NEW MUSIC)

‘A daring, experimental album . . . magnificent’ THE SUNDAY TIMES

‘A devastating, late-career, vanguard-pop masterpiece’ THE NEW YORK TIMES

'World album of the year' MOJO MAGAZINE

‘Surely the Brazilian album of the year’ THE GUARDIAN 5/5 ★★★★★

+++++++++++

Septuagenarian Brazilian music icon Elza Soares teams up with the cream of São Paulo's avant-garde musicians for an album of apocalyptic, experimental samba sujo (‘dirty samba’) that tackles the burning issues of 21st century Brazil: racism, domestic violence, sex and drug addiction.

Over a sprawl of distorted guitars, squalling horns, taught strings and electronic shards, samba is savaged by rock ‘n’ roll, free-jazz, noise and other experimental music forms as Elza sings, spits and screams tales of a life in Brazil that is anything but a tropical paradise.

A true legend of Brazilian music Elza has an incredible musical oeuvre that stretches back over seven decades mixing samba with jazz, soul, funk, hip hop and electronica, whilst her life-story is a rags-to-riches-to-rags rollercoaster of triumphs and tragedies that has made her a voice for Brazil’s repressed female, black, gay and working class populations.
