Tito Madi – A Fossa (1971)

Tito Madi - born Chauki Maddi - was a Brazilian singer and composer, known as "the king of the samba-canção" style.

He was one of the singers and composers of the samba-canção era intuitively connected with the soon-to-be stylistic revolution of bossa nova, Tito Madi anticipated several features of this movement in the sophisticated harmonies of his influential compositions and relaxed vocal renditions, recorded on 44 albums.
He was born on July 12, 1929 in Pirajuí, State of São Paulo and died on September 26, 2018 in Rio de Janeiro.

Among his most important albums it can be mentioned the four volumes of his "A Fossa", recorded respectively in 1971, 1972, 1973, and 1974. 

Beautifully sophisticated vocal work by one of Brazil's greatest singers at the end of the 60s. Madi has a style that owes a bit to earlier work by Dick Farney, but which also has absorbed a lot of the better jazz influences of the bossa era - as you'll hear on his readings of tracks like "Pra Dizer Adeus", "Cancao Da Volta", "Chuvas De Verao", "Pra Voce", and "Eu E A Brisa". The arrangements (uncredited) are great, with some excellent organ work on some tracks - and the songs are handled in the kind of moody style that Elis Regina and other singers would begin to absorb a few years later
