Two of the greatest singers of Brazilian music will be remembered in the week that starts today: on the 19th, it will be 40 years without Elis Regina. On the 22nd, it will be 45 years since Maysa’s death.
Elis Regina, born in 1945, revolutionized music and left her beautiful voice marked in bossa nova, MPB and many other musical genres. Always very political, Elis is the interpreter of numerous hits, including March waters, with Tom Jobim, Like our parents and The drunk and the tightrope walker.
Elis was greatly inspired by the radio singers of her time and began her career in her teens. However, it was in the great music festivals of the 1960s, broadcast on television, that she showed the range of her voice and her drama while singing. His gesture, while performing, is a striking feature of his performances. (watch excerpts from a performance by Elis Regina on stage at Canecão, from the series Antologia MPB, produced by TVE in 1988 and recovered by Recordar é TV, from TV Brazil):

There were four million records sold in 18 years of career. Elis Regina died at the height of her career, in 1982, at the age of 36, a victim of cardiac arrest after consuming alcohol, drugs and medication. She left three children and a legion of admirers.
Elis and her work are present in several programs and contents of Brazil Communication Company. starting with this list of 17 facts about the singer, created in 2014, when she would have turned 70.

Exactly ten years later, they recorded the album together Elis & Tom, historical record of MPB” (check out the full list).
And straight from the files of National Radio, listen again to a rare interview given by Elis to the station, in July 1979, commenting track by track of her album This woman. The conversation, which lasted more than an hour, was retrieved from the station’s collection and published in 2013:
