Camargo Cristina – Cristina Camargo (Music On Vinyl, Yellow Vinyl)

Cristina Camargo's Cristina Camargo grew out of Brazil's boogie moment at the start of the 1980s, when local pop and MPB ideas were colliding with the slick boogie-disco sounds coming out of the US. Camargo first broke through in 1980 with “Moral Tem Hora,” written by Marcos Valle and Paulo Valle, and that single became the center of her self-titled debut.

What makes the album especially appealing is the team behind it. Robson Jorge and Lincoln Olivetti, two of the key arrangers and producers in modern Brazilian pop, helped shape these sessions after work with major names including Jorge Ben, Gal Costa, Caetano Veloso, and Gilberto Gil. Their touch gives the record its crisp studio finish, warm vocal choruses, and tightly locked grooves without losing the Brazilian character at its core.

Rather than treating boogie as an imported style, Cristina Camargo folds it into a broader Brazilian songwriting tradition. Tracks like “Moral Tem Hora” and “Natureza Morta” sit inside that mix of polished rhythm, melodic ease, and early-80s ambition. For anyone exploring Brazilian boogie beyond the usual cult favorites, this is a smart and genuinely enjoyable place to start.
