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 competition 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 mixed 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 conform to the government to avoid exile or imprisonment, which many artists suffered during this period.
In 1974, "Pimentinha" reached her peak with the album Elis et Tom, where she recorded Tom Jobim's repertoire with Antonio Carlos Jobim, often 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 excess of cocaine, alcohol and tranquilizers. More than fifteen thousand inconsolable fans attended the funeral of this legend of Brazilian music.
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 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The tour's repertoire consisted of popular Brazilian songs, including some of her most famous albums, such as "Elis" and "Falso Brilhante". The highlight of the tour was the show "Transversal do Tempo", held at Ginásio do Ibirapuera, 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' last major tour before her untimely death in 1982, which makes this magazine signed by her on the cover, with a large dedication, a dream piece for Pimentinha fans.
