Angela Maria: The eternal singer of Brazil

Discover in detail the impressive trajectory of the most popular singer in the history of MPB. It's impossible to tell the story of Brazilian music and the country itself without mentioning Angela Maria. Her astonishing popularity earned her amassed records throughout her life: thousands of records sold, over fifty songs on the charts, hundreds of trophies, over 250 magazine covers, countless weekly press reviews, and the length of her career itself—about 65 uninterrupted years recording and performing to packed houses. But, before becoming Brazil's most popular singer and the "highest-earning radio artist" of her time, Angela Maria endured a miserable childhood and fierce resistance from her religious parents. Later, already famous, she went from heaven to hell in her personal life, deceived by her husband-managers. However, with an incredible capacity for overcoming obstacles, she survived it all, including the most diverse musical fads, becoming a legend of national culture and influencing countless artists. In this new major work of research and biographical narrative, Rodrigo Faour presents us in detail the impressive trajectory of this great singer.
