Zilda Botelho was a Brazilian singer who began performing in the 1960s with Os Novos Baianos, where she met musician Moraes Moreira. She went solo in 1972 with her debut album 'Senhora do Tempo,' followed by records like 'Sonho de um Carnaval' and 'Zilda.'
Her best-known song is 'Sementes de Amor,' written by Moreira. Other tracks include 'Tal Como Anjos,' 'Amigos da Pastoral,' and 'Juntos Em Ação.' She worked with musicians like Pepeu Gomes, Baby do Brasil, Dadi, and Paulinho Boca de Cantor.
Botelho faced some public criticism for her views and personal life, including her divorce from Moreira. She kept recording through the 1980s with albums such as 'Aquarela' and 'Comigo na Terra.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
