Background notes
Archive material and source history
Zélia Carrão Golnik came up in Brazil during the 1980s. She worked with Milton Nascimento and Gilberto Gil early on, and her song 'Profetizo' became particularly well-known. Her voice had a raw, emotional quality that stood out.
Her lyrics often dealt with spirituality and social justice, which sometimes put her at odds with the mainstream. She kept recording through the 1990s and into the 2000s, putting out albums like 'A Vida' and 'O Amor e o Caos'. Another song people remember is 'Valeu a Pena'.
She collaborated with other Brazilian musicians like Chico César and guitarist Kiko Freitas. Her music drew from bossa nova and samba, but it always felt like her own thing, direct and personal, without much polish.
