Editor's note

Dona Iracema's raw Brazilian sound of grief

A Brazilian ensemble whose music handled sorrow with direct intensity.

For their particular approach to sorrow, try "Canto Velório" from that first album. "Escuta Meu CD" gives you another angle on their catalog.

Their 1978 debut album "Velório" included the song "Canto Velório," which became known for its raw emotional quality. The music didn't fit neatly into one genre, pulling from various Brazilian traditions to create something that felt both personal and collective. Songs like "Escuta Meu CD" show how they worked with themes of grief and remembrance.

They started with "Velório" in 1978, then followed with albums like "Choro e Canto" in 1982 and "O Canto da Sereia" in 1986. Their sound featured guitarist Chico Palmeira, bassist Carlinhos, and percussionist Zé do Vale.
