Probably you know her because of Tom Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes. She was their partner for a long time, in so many songs! Ok, maybe you don't know her history so well, I mean how she started to sing, or you just know some songs of her. It's alright! The play 'Elis, A Musical' will show you her history as the greatest singer we've ever had in Brazil and also, her personal history.
She died over 30 years ago and even after a long time, she's inspiring a lot of new singers. The songs she sang was Bossa Nova, Samba, Groove, MPB. If you listen her songs, you'll notice that some of them are not in the same rythm. Besides, she had broadcast TV shows in 70's, one of them is called 'O Fino da Bossa' which she participated with Jair Rodrigues. They were huge friends and the way they presented their show was amazing to see.
Don't miss the opportunity to watch this play, even in Portuguese. I'm sure you'll love it and get more knowledge about our culture, great singers, in a time when sing was a pleasure and not only a way to make money.
