A Rio singer whose 'Lata D'Água' became an MPB staple.
For a sense of her sound, start with 'Lata D'Água' and 'Sapato de Pobre'. They frame her approach pretty well.
Her song 'Lata D'Água' is one of those tracks people keep coming back to, a quiet staple in MPB collections. She worked with musicians like João Donato and Baden Powell, and her recordings sometimes included covers of songs by Chico Buarque and Caetano Veloso. That puts her in good company, even if her name isn't always the first one mentioned.
Marlene started recording in the mid-1960s from Rio de Janeiro. Her catalog grew to more than twenty albums, and she also acted alongside her music work. Songs like 'Sapato de Pobre' and 'Pra Onde Vai, Valente?' show the range she covered.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
