Elizete Cardoso's 1958 album Canção do Amor Demais is officially considered the first bossa nova album, mostly because it was the first time Joao Gilberto's guitar beat (from then on the official bossa beat) was heard. With all songs on the LP composed by Vinicius de Moraes and Antonio Carlos Jobim, it had an immense influence on the Brazilian music scene. It is interesting to note that Cardoso, already recognized as one of Brazil's best singers ever, was never identified as a bossa singer, although she would sing on the legendary Black Orpheus soundtrack, another bossa landmark.
