Leticia Garcia ‎– Magamaquiavérica Em Canturbano (1984, LP, Brazil)

Obscure São Paulo artist Letícia Garcia is one of the many criminally overlooked artists from Brazil. There isn't much information about her on the internet, and Magamaquiavérica Em Canturbano is the only official LP released by her, but all this obscurity around her only makes it all the more interesting. This record came directly from the highly prolific 'vanguarda paulista' scene in São Paulo, in the mid 80s, along with artists like Arrigo Barnabé, even though she reached a much smaller scale of notoriety. This album is one dense, complex and surreal sonic experience in every way. Throughout the obtuse tracklisting, Letícia sings out in many different styles, following the very distinct (and countless) sonic detours found in the strange, but beautiful compositions that offer a very interesting blend of samba, rock, folk, classical, jazz, pagode and much more. This is certainly not for everyone, but also one of those albums to really get lost into, as the artist guides the listener through the many mazes of her mind. A Great album!
