“Samba de Flora”
Label: Echo Chamber Recordings
Catalogue Number: ECRXX001
Release Date: September 2024
Format: 7’ Vinyl 45rpm
We are flying headlong into the second year of Echo Chamber Recordings with this brilliant version of the jazz-dance club anthem : Airto’s “Samba de Flora” – revisited by the Romero Bros – which is in process to be pressed as a “rush release “ 45 to get this out into the world as soon as possible …
Following a tip-off from a South American customer of previous ECR 45 releases – I hooked up with the band who are based in Rosario, Santa Fe in the North of Argentina.
What I hadn’t realised was that the vocals on the original version are actually sung in Spanish (I’d always presumed it was Portuguese due to Airto’s Brazilian background).
This was a big reason for it becoming a popular tune in certain clubs in Argentina over the last few decades – hence the band performing this many times before even recording it.

In the early ‘70s with a string of hit R&B records, produced by her great friend, the late Rick Hall of the legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals: “I’d Rather Be an Old Man’s Sweetheart (Than a Young Man’s Fool),” “I’m Just a Prisoner (of Your Good Lovin’),” “Sweet Feeling,” “Stand by Your Man” and a cover of “In the Ghetto” that remains nearly as celebrated as Elvis Presley’s original. In the late ‘70s, she reinvented herself as a disco diva, returning to the charts with “Young Hearts Run Free.” She then returned to her gospel roots, a move that unexpectedly led to her career resurgence in the ‘90s and 2000s, as two songs originally written as Christian anthems, “You Got the Love” and “Hallelujah Anyway,” won new audiences with dance remixes.
