In the '60s, Elis was a leader and a standard-bearer in defense of Brazilian popular music, heavily contributing to the formation of the MPB label, with commercial and ideological characteristics at the same time. She was the first major artist to emerge from music festivals in the 1960s and detached herself from the Bossa Nova aesthetic through the use of her vocal range and drama. Initially, her style was influenced by radio singers, especially Ângela Maria. After four unsuccessful studio albums — Viva a Brotolândia (1961), Poema de Amor (1962), Elis Regina (1963), O Bem do Amor (1963) — Elis was the biggest revelation of the TV Excelsior festival in 1965, when he sang "Arrastão" by Vinícius de Moraes and Edu Lobo. This feat would guarantee him the invitation to act on television and, shortly afterwards, the title of first star of Brazilian popular song, when he started to command, alongside Jair Rodrigues, one of the two most important Brazilian popular music programs, O Fino da bossa. In 1967, she married Ronaldo Bôscoli, then director of O Fino da Bossa. From 1972, Elis began a relationship with César Camargo Mariano, which would last until 1981, in one of the most successful partnerships in Brazilian Popular Music.
She sang many genres: MPB, bossa nova, samba, rock and jazz. Interpreting songs like "Madalena", "Águas de Março", "Atrás da Porta", "Como Nosso Pais", "O Bêbado e a Equilibrista" and "Querellas do Brasil", he recorded moments of happiness, love, sadness and patriotism. Throughout his career, he stood out for also singing songs by artists, still little known, such as Milton Nascimento, Ivan Lins, Belchior, Renato Teixeira, Aldir Blanc, João Bosco, helping to launch them and publicize their works. , boosting them in the Brazilian music scene. Among other partnerships, the duets she had with Jair Rodrigues, Tom Jobim and Rita Lee are famous. With her second husband, pianist César Camargo Mariano, she consecrated a long work of great creativity and musical consistency and, in technical terms, was considered the best brazilian singer. His most memorable artistic presence is perhaps registered on the albums Em Pleno Verão (1970), Elis (1972), Elis (1973), Elis & Tom (1974), Elis (1974), Falso Brilhante (1976), Transversal do Tempo (1978). ), Essa Mulher (1979), Saudade do Brasil (1980) and Elis (1980). She was the first person to inscribe her own voice as if it were an instrument, in the Order of Musicians of Brazil. In 2013, she was elected the best female voice in Brazilian music by Rolling Stone Magazine. Elis was also mentioned in the list of the greatest artists in Brazilian music, ranking 14th, being the best-placed woman. In November of the same year, a musical was premiered in honor of her Elis, the musical.
Elis Regina died prematurely at the age of 36, at the height of her career, causing strong commotion in the country and leaving a vast body of work in Brazilian popular music. Although there were controversies and disputes as to the cause of death, the tests showed that the cause was the consumption of cocaine associated with alcohol, which caused a cardiac arrest.

Chegou sem anunciar
Fez um alô pro tio
Fez um olá pra tia
Depois dançou e dançou
Até o sol raiar
E não contente enturmou
Salve, salve a dona Tereza
Ela vai pro céu
Ela tem aquela nobreza
Que tinha Izabel
Branquinha igual assim não pode existir
Balanço igual eu juro que nunca vi
No carnaval nós vamos nos divertir
A turma tá que tá que não cabe em si
Porque Tereza enturmou
Porque Tereza enturmou
Depois foi-se embora Tereza
Foi como um luar
Oi deixando tanta tristeza
Na turma de lá
A gafieira já fez subscrição
Pra passar cera e dar uma caiação
A turma tá que tá que não sai de lá
Tereza um dia pode querer voltar
Porque Tereza enturmou
Porque Tereza enturmou
Voltou, voltou, sim senhor
Voltou sem anunciar
Fez um alô pro tio
Fez uma olá pra tia
Tereza é branca na cor
Mas isso deixa pra lá
Porque Tereza enturmou
Porque ela sabe sambar
Tereza sabe sambar
Tereza sabe sambar
Tereza sabe sambar
The song "Tereza Sabe Sambar" is a celebration of Tereza, a woman who knows how to samba and has that special quality of bringing people together. The lyrics describe how Tereza suddenly arrives without warning and greets her uncle and aunt, then proceeds to dance until the sun comes up. The song praises her noble nature and the way she fits in so naturally with the other women there. The chorus repeats the phrase "Porque Tereza enturmou," which means "because Tereza fit in," expressing the joy and admiration her presence brings to the group. The song then tells how Tereza left, leaving a feeling of sadness behind, but eventually returned, greeted her family again, and showed off her samba skills once more.
The song is filled with excitement and energy, with a rhythmic beat and upbeat lyrics that exude passion and joy. It captures the essence of Brazilian culture, particularly the love for dance and the importance of communal gatherings. The lyrics celebrate the way that Tereza, despite being white, can fit in so seamlessly and samba just as well as anyone else. This speaks to the idea that people of all races and backgrounds can come together through a shared love of music and dance.
