Elza Soares (1930-2022) was a Brazilian samba recording artist born and raised in a favela in Rio de Janeiro. She gained recognition after winning a singing contest presented by renowned musician Ary Barroso. Soares's unique style combined scat à la Louis Armstrong with jazz-infused samba, earning her popularity with her first single "Se Acaso Você Chegasse". Her husky voice became her trademark as she performed at theaters and nightclubs in São Paulo.
In the 1970s, Soares toured the U.S. and Europe, showcasing her talent for over 40 years. In 2000, she was awarded "Best Singer of the Millennium" by the BBC in London, where she performed alongside Gal Costa, Chico Buarque, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Virgínia Rodrigues. Throughout her career, Soares scored several chart hits in Brazil including "Só Danço Samba" and "Aquarela Brasileira".
Soares's albums have been re-released on CD in remastered editions such as A Bossa Negra and Elza Pede Passagem. Her album Do Cóccix Até O Pescoço earned her a Grammy nomination in 2002 and featured collaborations with Caetano Veloso, Chico Buarque, Carlinhos Brown, Jorge Ben Jor among others.

Elza Soares returns in 2017 with new remixes of tracks from her acclaimed 'The Woman At The End Of The World' album. Mixing rock 'n' roll, free-jazz, noise and electronics The woman at the end of the world was ripe for remixing and Mais Um Discos reached out to producers in London, Lisbon, New York and ELZA's hometown of Rio de Janeiro to create an album where the new school of cutting edge Lusophone producers - and 2 legends from NY and LDN take Elza's music into new dimensions. From London there was only one man to go to for a remix - DJ, broadcaster, label owner and Elza's biggest fan - Gilles Peterson. Teaming up with Simbad they turn Pra fuder into a percussive monster. Said Gilles: "I played the album cut all 2016 and so needed a new version for this summer! An honor to work once again with my queen of grimy samba". Representing the future sound of Lisbon are Principe Discos' DJ Marfox who adds his rapid-fire future-Afro-Lisbon polyrhythms to Maria da Vila Matilde - &amp; Nidia Minaj, who turns Pra fuder into a dark and moody warehouse rattler. Soundway Records' iZem gives O Canal a trippy Arabic feel whilst NY ambient guru Laraaji infuses the acapella Coracao do mar with his trademark celestial vibes. Rio de Janeiro basshead Omulu sprinkles shards of funk-carioca to Mulher do fim do mundo, Marginal Men and BadSista give Firmeza low end wobble as Caetano Veloso cohort Ricardo Dias Gomes washes Solto with synths and effects.CD also contains original album.
