Background notes
Archive material and source history
Iranildes Russo started singing in the mid-1960s, coming from the backlands of Ceará in Brazil. She faced some early prejudice for her unconventional look and vocal style, but kept at it. In 1971, producer José Severiano heard her and helped her record a debut album called "Meu Tambor." That record got some critical notice and gave her a start.
Her most well-known song is "Volta," which came out in 1974. It's a haunting ballad that caught on with listeners, partly for its sense of longing. After that, she put out other albums like "Maracatu" in 1975 and "Travessia" in 1979, moving between percussive rhythms and quieter folk sounds. She was known for being outspoken in her lyrics and on stage, which sometimes stirred things up.
