Beth Carvalho - "Sei lá Mangueira"

.



Carvalho is a very important artist in the history of samba, for she has celebrated and brought stronger light, with great reverence, to the work of legendary composers such as Cartola, Nelson Cavaquinho & Guilherme de Brito in times where they weren't receiving the attention they deserved. Almost all of her records have songs by these composers, among other legendary sambistas such as Nelson Sargento and the Old Guard of Portela. Her samba school is Mangueira, but that didn't stop her from revering and recording dozens of songs from composers of Portela, the other most traditional samba school in Rio de Janeiro.
