Background notes
Archive material and source history
Aracy Cortes was born in Niterói, Brazil in 1934. She started performing locally, influenced by singers like Carmen Miranda and Dalva de Oliveira. In 1959, she recorded 'Denguinho,' which became a hit and brought her national attention.
Her voice had a warm, expressive quality that worked well with samba rhythms. She recorded other songs like 'Sim, Mas Desencosta' and 'A Casinha.' In 1974, she was arrested for marijuana possession, a case some saw as politically motivated.
She kept recording through various challenges in an industry that wasn't always welcoming to women. Her catalog includes songs like 'A Polícia Já Foi Lá Em Casa' and 'É No Toco da Goiaba.'
