She was classified by the press as the pioneer of dance pop music - with choreography and the use of electronic productions - in Brazil, betting on the genre in 1990, after seeing the international dimension of artists such as Madonna and Prince, adhering to choreographies, ranges of dance styles and samplers in her work. At the time she encountered resistance from producers, since rock was on the rise in Brazil, insisting that she could gain notoriety by making pop music by eternalizing, "There isn't [pop music market], but we will inaugurate it." For her musical style she was called "the mother of Brazilian pop" by newspapers. Fernanda is trained as a professional dancer by the Tatiana Leskova Ballet, having joined two dance companies before her musical career.
In 1982 she became known as the backing vocalist of the rock band Blitz, responsible for popularizing the Brazilian rock movement in the 1980s, in which she remained for three albums until 1986. In 1990 she began her solo career with the album SLA Radical Dance Disco Club, which brought a danceable pop sound, unheard of in Brazil, containing samplers of various artists in its tracks, such as "Lady Marmalade" by Labelle and "Vogue" by Madonna]. In 1992, her most successful track, "Rio 40 Graus" is released, considered by the press a milestone in Brazilian music for mixing hip hop, disco music and funk, genres still marginalized at the time, and talking about the chaotic side of Rio de Janeiro, placing Fernanda in the position of icon by taking the music of the periphery to the radios.
A Noite
Fernanda Abreu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E a noite vem atropelando
Todos os chatos desanimados
Tá na hora de acordar e sair
E ver que a vida é se divertir
A noite é negra
E os holofotes vasculham
À procura de um lugar ideal
Pra dançar e barbarizar
Dance
Se é que existe diferença entre o bem e o mal
Dance
Se é que existe diferença entre o inferno e o céu
Dance
Se é que existe diferença entre as trevas e a luz
Dance
A noite é quente
A noite é fria
Uma droga de arrepiar
E não importa mais se existe razão
Não tem pecado, nem perdão
You and me
Eu quero é me divertir
Moi et toi
A noite é feita pra dançar
You and me
Chuchu e caqui
Moi et toi...
D-I-S-C-O
We gonna disco all night

A tarde cai
The afternoon falls
E a noite vem atropelando
And the night is rushing in
Todos os chatos desanimados
All the boring and discouraged ones
Tá na hora de acordar e sair
It's time to wake up and go out
E ver que a vida é se divertir
And see that life is about having fun
A noite é negra
The night is black
E os holofotes vasculham
And the spotlights scour
Toda essa escuridão
All this darkness
À procura de um lugar ideal
In search of an ideal place
Pra dançar e barbarizar
To dance and party hard

Eu quero é me divertir

A mulher mais bonita do Brasil naquela época. Lembro-me de que este disco dela foi considerado o melhor do ano em 1991. Outro disco clássico daqueles tempos é o "Ed Motta & Conexão Japeri", com os hits "Manoel" e "Vamos Dançar". Ainda hoje (2020) ouço ambos os LP's, "lado A" e "lado B", curtindo uma baita nostagia... Bons tempos em que havia música e artistas de verdade, tanto no Brasil como no mundo... Q
ue saudade...
