Friday with Elza Soares

Elza Soares (Born june 23,1937)is a Brazilian samba singer, Daughter of a laundress and a workman, was mother at the age 12 and widowed when she was 18. Her talent was recognized immediately after singing the first time in a program of radio. With her Unique voice she soon recorded an LP and was invited to sing for the world cup in Chile in 1962 with Louis Armstrong,who started to call her my little daugther. Since that she has been collecting awards and a successful career.

I am fascinated about her voice and style, and is not everybody that can be over 70 years old beeing so good,with that voice,that clothes and high hills.That is one of the reasons I have in ALo Alo show a kind of parody with her song on Nega Maluca performance. The character is well known in Brazil and there are various forms of interpretation , but the main feature is the behavior of stress and exaggerated self-esteem. I have never been to Elza´s concert but God knows that when this day comes, I will jump on the stage and hug her a lot...hehehehe

So..bellow you can see her performing and also a video with Nega Maluka from Alo Alo show,where we do a parody about!
