Quarteto em Cy – Antologia (Vol. 2) do Samba Canção (original pressing)

Antologia do Samba Canção – Vol. 2 is a 1976 Brazilian LP by Quarteto em Cy, a renowned female vocal group known for refined harmonies and sophisticated MPB arrangements. The album is part of an anthology series dedicated to samba-canção, a romantic, lyrical style of Brazilian popular music prominent from the 1940s to the 1970s.

Rather than original compositions, the record features medleys and reinterpretations of classic songs by major composers such as Tom Jobim, Dorival Caymmi, and other MPB figures, arranged to highlight vocal blend and emotional nuance. Musically, it sits between samba-canção, bossa nova, and traditional MPB.

From a collecting perspective, it is moderately sought after: valued more for musical quality and historical context than rarity. Original Brazilian pressings are typically affordable compared to top-tier MPB titles, with value highly dependent on condition.
