She got the nickname Ro Ro in her adolescence, due to her signature low and hoarse voice, which would later show to conquer Brazil in the late '70s.
At age 5, she got an accordion and at age 6, Ro Ro composed a guarânia with it; her first song. At age 8, she began studying classical piano, influenced by icons such as Maysa, Jacques Brel, Ella Fitzgerald (and later Janis Joplin), whom she would elect as her musical idols.
In 1971, Angela Ro Ro Ro moved to London and alternated her work as a cleaner and waitress with that of singer and pianist. Back to Brazil, in 1974, she performed in the best nightclubs in Rio de Janeiro, with a repertoire chosen according to her personal preferences. She became known as a singer and songwriter in 1976, when she participated in the rock festival Som, Sol e Surf, organized by the journalist and music producer Nelson Motta in Saquarema, Rio de Janeiro, in which Rita Lee, Raul Seixas and Made in Brazil also performed. In 1979 the song Agito e Uso was recorded by As Frenéticas and Não Há Cabeça by Marina Lima and Ney Matogrosso. In the following year, Ney Matogrosso interpreted Balada da Arrasada. She released her first album, Angela Ro Ro, in 1979, by PolyGram, with arrangements by pianist Antônio Adolfo on several tracks. The song Tola Foi Você was her debut on the radio, but her first big hit was Amor, Meu Grande Amor, whose lyrics are by Ana Terra. Gota de Sangue had great repercussion in the voice of Maria Bethânia around the same period.
