Clara Nunes - Guerreira (1978)
another "greatest album of all time". and Zambelê is the greatest track of all time. Too bad it's not available in its original form, I have it on vinyl... This site has samples up from this record. Clara Nunes was one of the great stars of samba, who became famous in the seventies and who died way too young, before her fortieth birthday, in 1983. Here's a quote of hers from another site:

Sinto Deus no momento de cantar. Antes de entrar em cena, tenho um friozinho na barriga. Convoco todos os santos, mas depois vem aquele prazer de ver a reação estampada no rosto das pessoas. Cantar prá mim é como respirar, eu não saberia viver sem isso.
I feel God when it's time to sing. Before going on, I get chills in my tummy. I call on all of the saints, but soon comes the joy of seeing the reaction on the people's faces. Singing for me is like breathing, I wouldn't know how to live without this.
