Editor's note

Madame Nora, the Brazilian singer who kept recording

A songwriter who worked with Milton Nascimento and faced the difficulties of being a woman in 1960s Brazilian music.

For her sound, try "S.O.S" or the Milton Nascimento collaboration "Lembrança de Natal." They give you the feel of what she was doing.

Her 1960s collaboration with Milton Nascimento on "Lembrança de Natal" produced a title track that became well-known. Songs like "S.O.S" and "Nosso Jogo" show her straightforward approach to writing. She kept working through a period when that wasn't always easy for women in the industry.

She started writing early, influenced by singer Linda Batista. In the 1960s she recorded "Nora Ney" and "Canção da Saudade," worked with Quarteto em Cy, and kept putting out music into the 1970s with a collection of lullabies.
