A voice that defined Brazilian samba for decades, from 'Andança' to her work with Zeca Pagodinho.
For a quick sense of her sound, try 'Andança' from 1972 or 'Coração Feliz' from her top songs. Both give you that clear, steady samba voice she was known for.
Her 1972 album 'Andança' gave her a breakthrough with its title track, which became one of her most recognizable songs. She recorded over 30 albums, including 'Sentimento Latino' in 1974 and 'Pé de Chinelo' in 1992. Songs like 'Coração Feliz' and 'Vou Festejar' became staples in her repertoire, and she worked with musicians like Wilson Moreira and Luiz Carlos da Vila.
Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1946, she grew up around samba and started singing at local events. She joined the group Os Cinco Crioulos in the 1960s before forming her own band. Later, she collaborated with Zeca Pagodinho on 'Camarão Que Dorme a Onda Leva' and died in 2019 at age 72.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
