A perfectionist wHO was often dissatisfied, Regina drove herself and members of her band unrelentingly, preeminent to her being dubbed "Hurricane" and "Niggling Pepper" by musicians and music journalists. Her angry nature by, she commanded the regard of Brazil's leading songwriters, wHO lined up for the fortune to suffer her record book one of their songs, and for gobs of her short liveness was the country's almost popular distaff vocaliser. Born Elis Regina Carvalho Costa in Porto Alegre in 1945 to a wage-earning family unit, Regina began tattle professionally at age 12 on a children's tv set record called Clube de Guri. For the adjacent two age she was a regular performing artist on the programme and became a local celebrity. It was during this period that she sign-language her number one recording contract at the age of 13. At 15 she relocated to Rio de Janeiro, where she recorded the first of terzetto records, reversive to Porto Alegre between each. Her initial recordings sold advantageously and she was shortly a teenaged star, as well as the family's school principal breadwinner. In 1963, at the historic period of 18, Regina and her male parent, in a move intentional to further her calling, resettled to Rio. Unfortunately, it was around this time that a military junta took o'er control of the state. Non long after her move to Rio, Regina became a fixture on Brazilian variety shows. Although the cool, supple, jazzy bossa nova sound was in style at the time, Regina preferred more strident rhythms and full-throated tattle. Adding to this was her dynamic, unsophisticated stage presence (which belied a career-long conflict against near-paralytic stage fearfulness) that, in American terms, might be topper silent if one thinks of the tornado-like force that Janis Joplin could let loose. In 1965, Regina sang the controversial (and almost censored) vocal "Arrastao" at Rio's offset big popular music festival. In a performance that whitethorn good get been the defining moment of her career, she posed in Christ-like excruciation, crying streaming down her human face at the song's conclusion. From that present moment on, her popularity rocketed; she went from existence one of many successful Brazilian singers to the nearly pop and highest-paid isaac Merrit Singer in the nation -- at the eld of 21. Although non as overtly political as other singer/songwriters of her contemporaries (e.g., Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil), Regina was non shy around criticizing Brazil's military rule. While touring Europe in 1969 she told a journalist that her rural area was "existence run by guerrillas." Normally this sentiment would lead to either jailhouse or expatriate (or both in the case of Gil and Veloso), but Regina's tremendous popularity protected her jolly from whatever world political science revenge. However, the military junta victimised more insidious strong-arm tactic, such as forcing her to sing the Brazilian national anthem at a ceremony to lionize the day of remembrance of the country's "independence." She was roundly attacked by collectivist performers for such a public show of pro-government sentiment, and it was days later that her married man revealed that she was threatened with poky if she did not follow with the government's wishes. As the mother of a brigham Young baby at the time, Regina could non afford to become a martyr. Regina's calling showed no signs of retardation as the seventies came to a come together; some of her best records were recorded during this time, and one album simply called Elis & Tom (recorded in Los Angeles with Antonio Carlos Jobim) has been called by many journalists and musicians matchless of the superlative Brazilian pop out records always made. However, patch her life history was in total sway, her personal life was in disarray -- 2 marriages terminated in split up, and she was nurture trey children as well as providing for her parents. In the late '70s, after the end of her arcsecond marriage, she began using cocaine regularly, just managed to maintain her increasing habituation on the drug well secret from her friends and kinfolk. Regina began 1982 by marrying for a third time, signing a new recording shorten, and in ecumenical, planning for the future. All of this came to a hold on January 19, 1982, when she was found dead of inebriant and cocain toxic condition at old age 36. Initially, her decease was rumored to be a felo-de-se, but thither is no grounds indicating that it was anything more than than a tragic accident. A few years afterwards her death, a memorial concert was held in São Paulo featuring many of Brazil's nearly notable singers. Over one C,000 grieving Brazilians came to pay their final respects to this gifted, fickle isaac Bashevis Singer world Health Organization remains as popular after expiry as she was in life. |
