Elis Regina
The Supreme Voice of Brazilian Soul
I sing like the wind—no fences, no mercy.
I was just a skinny girl with a mouth full of fire and a voice that wouldn’t be tamed. I sang 'Arrastão' and the world leaned in. I sang 'Águas de Março' and the world held its breath. Tom Jobim, Milton Nascimento—geniuses who let me fly. But I didn’t fly. I burned. And I left everything on the stage, even when there wasn’t much left for me.
What I'm Into: Elis & Tom sessions, live wires and standing ovations, the ache of 'Como Nossos Pais', Rio nights that never sleep, a single perfect take
