Her voice moves from popular ballads to deeper Brazilian styles, with songs that feel lived-in.
For a quick sense of her, try 'Torero' and 'Coisa Mais Doida'. They sit in different corners of what she could do.
The 1985 album 'Per Amore' gave her a signature ballad that stuck in Brazil. But listen to 'Coisa Mais Doida' or 'Explode Coração' and you hear someone who could handle more than just romance. She worked with Gilberto Gil and Milton Nascimento, which tells you something about the company she kept.
Her first album came out in 1982, but 'Per Amore' three years later is what people remember. She kept recording after a multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 1990, often with pianist Eduardo Souto Neto and bassist Ricardo Silveira in her band.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
