I’m not quite sure what Marisa Rossi is singing about, but her exuberant vocal delivery, coupled with those echoing backing voice embellishments makes for a nice, slightly tripped-out sonic experience! Her voice breathes fire and sunshine into each tuneful word she ardently sings and yet, despite this power, her tone delivers with control and grace. This is perfectly demonstrated in today’s song: Cinturão de Fogo! – Which translates as “Fire Belt” (I believe)
Performed by Brazilian singer, Marisa Rossi, today’s song was released in 1970 and accompanied, on the A-side, a track called Deixa Eu Te Amar (translating as Let Me Love You) – see below.
Throughout her relatively brief career, Marisa Rossi achieved a good following, issuing a handful of 45’s and a couple of albums. Today’s song was released via a Brazilian label called, Copacabana Compacto and was written by Paulo and Fábio Imperial, Cinturão de Fogo has really grown on me in the last few days!
Enjoy!
