Sua Excelencia, O Samba-cancao (1957)

Odeon MODB 3062

An Odeon showcase:

01. Foi a noite  (A. C. Jobim / Newton Mendonça) - Sylvia Telles
02. Só Louco  (Dorival Caymmi) - Dorival Caymmi
03. Molambo  (Jayme Florence / Augusto Mesquita) - Roberto Luna
04. Não diga não  ((Tito Madi / Georges Henry) - Heleninha Silveira
05. Prece  (Alberto Ribeiro) - Dalva de Oliveira
06. Contando estrelas  (Alfredo Borba / Edson Borges) - Isaura Garcia
07. Brasa  (Lupicinio Rodrigues / Felisberto Martins) - Orlando Silva
08. Siga  (Hélio Guimarães / Fernando Lobo) - Trio Irakitan 

The pleasant voice of Heleninha Silveira I have never heard before, so this encounter came as a pleasant surprise. Immediate research revealed 5 listed 78 rpm albums recorded in the period from 1955 to 1957.

Edson Mendes informed me in a second mail that three more of Heleninha's songs can be found on Youtube.

Why she has not continued her singing career is a mystery to me.
