The story behind
When you dive into Tango italiano, you encounter a voice that already shows astonishing confidence for its time. The recording, part of the 1963 album Ellis Regina, benefits from the orchestral direction of Luiz Astor da Silva. This arranger was a key figure in the Brazilian music scene of the era, leading Columbia Brasileira and, in parallel, driving the early works of Roberto Carlos. The way Elis Regina approaches both samba and Brazilian popular music on this record is largely due to Silva's vision.
The analysis by John Bush for AllMusic highlights the vocal maturity of the young Elis Regina in this work. He describes her as an artist at an advanced stage of her development, conveying confidence and energy throughout the album's twelve songs, with absolute mastery of her instrument. The track Tango italiano has a recorded duration of 3 minutes and 16 seconds. The artist, whose full name was Elis Regina Carvalho Costa, was born in Porto Alegre in 1945 and passed away in São Paulo in 1982. She is widely recognized as one of the most important figures in Brazilian popular music.
