BONUS EP. (Claudia - Deixa Eu Dizer)

Salve! This is a preview of our bonus episode for paid ⁠subscribers⁠!Every episode is a different song. This is the song today:"Deixa Eu Dizer" by Claudia (Ivan Lins/Ronaldo Bastos)This month, we're celebrating the work of Ivan Lins, who turned 80 years old in June. Another song, written by Ronaldo Bastos and featuring music by Ivan Lins, that criticizes the military regime through metaphors. The song passed by as a love song at the time due to Claudia's charming voice. A fantastic singer, she spent the 1970s in the shadow of many female singers (Elis Regina, Gal Costa, Maria Bethania). Still, her performance of "Deixa Eu Dizer" is an absolute banger, blending samba beats and a funky groove. This version regained enormous success when samba/rapper Marcelo D2 used it as a sample in the 2000s. Ivan Lins recorded the song on his album Modo Livre.
