Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
Strong song choices and Elis’s commanding interpretations carry the record; its varied sequence holds together, though it does not build into a single dramatic arc.
What we noticed
- The opener joins “Aquarela do Brasil” to “Nega do cabelo duro” as a single medley rather than establishing the album with a standalone song.
- “Canto de Ossanha” is followed by “Giro”; after “O barquinho” and “Andança,” the final three tracks move through “Récit de Cassard,” “Samba da pergunta” and “Memórias de Marta Saré.”
- The running order moves between established songs and newer Brazilian material instead of grouping the standards together.

Significant within its genre. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
