1979
From the age of eleven, Elis Regina (1945-1982) began performing on radio programs. However, her success only came in 1965, when she won a singing contest with the song "Arrastão", written by Edu Lobo and Vinicius de Moraes.
As everyone knows, Elis Regina became a key figure in the emerging Brazilian popular music (MPB), which blended samba, bossa nova, pop, and rock. Despite being a fervent and outspoken opponent of the military regime in power in Brazil since 1964, Elis Regina had to compromise with the government to avoid the exile or imprisonment that many artists suffered during that period.
In 1974, "Pimentinha" reached her peak with the album Elis et Tom, where she recorded Tom Jobim's repertoire with Antonio Carlos Jobim, frequently cited as one of the best bossa nova albums ever released. In addition, she worked with Milton Nascimento, Ronaldo Bôscoli, Chico Buarque, Jorge Ben, and Caetano Veloso.
On January 19, 1982, at the age of 36, the artist died due to an overdose of cocaine, alcohol, and tranquilizers. More than fifteen thousand inconsolable fans attended the funeral of this Brazilian music legend.
Elis Regina's 1979 tour is considered one of the most important of her career. During the tour, Elis performed in several Brazilian cities, including São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Belo Horizonte, as well as giving shows in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The tour's repertoire consisted of popular Brazilian songs, including some from her most famous albums, such as "Elis" and "Falso Brilhante". The highlight of the tour was the "Transversal do Tempo" show, held at the Ibirapuera Gymnasium in São Paulo in September 1979. This show was recorded live and later released as a double album, becoming one of the most important recordings of Elis Regina's career.
The 1979 tour also marked Elis's last major tour before her premature death in 1982, which makes this magazine, signed by her on the cover with a large dedication, a dream piece for fans of "Pimentinha" (Little Pepper, Elis's nickname).
