enigmatic, and a very private person. With her rich
deep voice she challenges gender stereotypes, offering
interpretations of songs that hold in equal balance the
masculine and feminine sides of both men and women
She was an integral part of the Tropicalia movement in
the 60's which was universally credited with redefining
what is known as Brazilian music, it laid the groundwork
for a renaissance of Brazilian popular music both at
home and abroad.
