Archive material and source history
Marlene Carvalho was born in Salvador, Bahia in 1949. She started singing bossa nova in small clubs before moving to Rio de Janeiro in the 1960s, where she worked with artists like Jorge Ben and Chico Buarque.
Its lyrics about resilience connected with audiences who recognized their own struggles in her words.
Her outspoken views made her a target for censorship during that period, but she kept writing songs that addressed social issues. She recorded with other musicians including Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, and Milton Nascimento.
