One day soon, Clara Nunes will get her own, more extensive and detailed treatment here. But this is a groove that is infectious, and too good not to share. This is a late recording, from 1979, before her tragic and unexpected death. “Feira de Mangaio” appears on her LP Esperança, and is a collaboration with Sivuca, an elderly, white-bearded Brazilian guitar and accordion virtuoso. It’s hip as anything.
